Promotional or open-promotional examinations may be <br />conducted whenever in the opinion of the Personnel <br />Officer, the needs of the service require. Only <br />employees who meet the requirements set forth in the <br />examination announcements may complete in promotional <br />examinations. <br /> <br />Insofar as consistent with the best interest of the <br />department as determined by the City Manager, vacancies <br />in the department shall be filled by promotion from <br />within the department after a promotional examination has <br />been given and a promotional list established. <br /> <br />Upon completion of all promotional testing, the names of <br />the persons having the highest three (3) scores on the <br />eligibility list shall be submitted to the Fire Chief <br />for his/her consideration. <br /> <br />An employee meeting the minimum qualifications may be <br />temporarily promoted to an authorized position on an <br />"acting" basis. The employee temporarily promoted shall <br />be paid the minimum rate for the position to which he/she <br />is promoted except that said rate shall be at least five <br />percent (5%) above his/her regular rate of pay. The <br />employee so promoted shall continue to receive this <br />higher rate of pay until such time as the position is <br />filled on a full-time basis. <br /> <br />If, in the opinion of the Personnel Officer, a vacancy in <br />the department could be filled better by an open- <br />competitive examination instead of promotional <br />examination, he/she shall arrange an open-competitive <br />employment list consistent with the Personnel Rules. <br /> <br /> - 30 - <br /> <br /> <br />
