§ 2.60.250. Provisional appointments.

A.

If only four or less available eligibles exist in the candidate group, a provisional appointment of an applicant not on the register can be made by the appointing authority upon approval of the personnel officer. Such provisional appointments shall last for a period of no longer than sixty days or until thirty days after an adequate register is established, whichever occurs first. The personnel officer may extend a provisional appointment for a period not to exceed sixty days when difficulty recruiting a sufficient number of applicants is encountered.

B.

Provisional appointments may be made only of those persons who have filed an official application and who have been approved by the personnel officer as meeting minimum qualifications for the class.

C.

Persons who have been provisionally appointed may be given a subsequent probationary appointment only after the following conditions are met:

1.

The provisional appointee is certified to the register and is among the candidate group; and

2.

Only after other candidates have been considered in a competitive fashion and the appointing authority determines the provisional appointee is the most qualified from among those given final selection consideration.
