§ 14406. Selection of appointee from certified list of applicants
The following shall apply to civil service selection, conditional appointments and appointments and shall be incorporated by reference in the rules and regulations of the civil service board:
(1) The civil service board shall make and keep, in numerical order, a list containing the names of all applicants for civil service positions in the city who pass the required examinations, including any required physical fitness or agility examinations that are job related and consistent with business necessity.
(4) If both written and oral examination methods are used in conjunction with each other, the board, prior to initiating testing, shall establish what constitutes a passing score on each portion of the examination. If only a written examination method is used, the board shall establish the passing score before the examination is conducted.
(7) Whenever council determines an initial appointment is to be made to a civil service position in the city, the director of the department in which the appointment is to be made shall make written application to the chairperson of the board, who shall certify to council, in writing, the three names on the eligibility list of applicants for the position having the highest number of points, unless there are less than three eligible names on the list, in which event the board shall certify the names. The director of the department in which the appointment is to be made shall nominate to council an individual from the eligibility list submitted to fill the vacancy.
(8) If council approves the nomination, the individual nominated shall be conditionally appointed by council to fill the vacancy and shall be assigned for service in the department, subject to any required physical or psychological medical examinations that may be required by the board as a condition of permanent appointment in accordance with section 14404.1 (relating to physical and psychological medical examinations).
(9) If council does not approve the nomination or if the appointee is determined by the medical examination process to be unqualified, the director of the department in which the appointment is to be made shall submit another nomination for the position from the remaining names, if any. If the second nomination is not approved by council or if the appointee is determined by the medical examination process to be unqualified, the director shall submit the third name, if any.
(11) The name of the individual appointed shall be immediately stricken from the certified list of the board, and, except as otherwise provided in this subsection, the names of the nonappointed individuals shall immediately be restored to their proper place on the certified list. Names shall be stricken from the certified list if:
