RULE 7
RULE 7
ELIGIBLE LISTS
7.1
Policy: The names of those examinees that have passed an examination, together with their
weighted scores on each component of the examination and in total, shall be known as the Eligible List
and shall be transmitted to the Human Resources Director for certification.
7.2
Final Scores: The final score shall include all scored and weighted components of the
examination, seniority preferences points and veteran’s preference points, as provided for in these Rules.
Final scores will be rounded to the nearest whole number, e.g., 92.49 would be rounded down to 92 and
92.50 would be rounded up to 93.
7.3
Rank: Identifies the order of placement of an examinee on the eligible list. The examinee with
the highest final score shall receive rank 1 and be placed first on the list, the examinee with the next highest
score shall receive rank 2 and be placed second on the list, etc., until the name of the examinee with the
lowest passing score and corresponding rank is listed. Examinees with the same final scores shall be
listed as occupying equal rank, listed alphabetically.
7.4
Certification: Upon review and approval of the eligible list, the Human Resources Director shall
certify it for use in the selection of an appointee and provide it to the Commission at their next regular
meeting. When an examination process does not produce a valid eligible list of at least five (5) qualified
candidates, the Human Resources Director may approve the use of a valid eligible list created for a
higher classification when the Director determines that candidates on that list are qualified and interested
in appointment to a related lower classification.
7.5
Duration of Eligible Lists: Each certified Eligible List shall be valid for use for a period of one
(1) year, unless exhausted sooner. The Eligible List may be extended for up to one (1) additional year
with the Commission’s approval. The extended eligible list shall be valid until a new list is established for
the same classification or the current Certification of Eligible List is exhausted, whichever occurs first,
except as set forth below.
7.6
Consolidation of Eligible Lists: In the event of the establishment of an eligible list where
another list for the same classification exists, the two (2) lists may be combined by the Human Resources
Director and the names of the persons on each list shall be merged in such a manner as the highest
scoring examinee is first, the next highest scored is second, etc., pursuant to these Rules.
The
consolidation of eligible lists as provided in these Rules shall not have the effect of extending the duration
of any eligible list unless specifically provided and approved by the Commission.
7.7
Rules of Certification: Eligibles who are available for appointment shall be referred according to
the examination type. If an appointment is made, the appointing authority is required to appoint from the
five (5) ranks that were certified by the Human Resources Director and may not make a temporary
appointment in lieu of making a selection from the eligible list, unless fewer than five (5) ranks appear on
the list, in which case the appointing authority may request to terminate the list.
a.
Open & Competitive Examinations: The Rule of Five (5) ranks will be used for these types
of examinations. All of the eligibles in the five (5) highest ranks, including ties, will be
referred, in alphabetical order, in consideration of filling a vacancy.
b.
Promotional Examinations: The Rule of Three (3) ranks will be used for these types of
examinations. All of the eligibles in the three (3) highest ranks, including ties, will be referred,
in alphabetical order, for consideration in filling a vacancy.
