A.

Except as otherwise provided in this section, no person convicted of a felony or misdemeanor involving moral turpitude shall be eligible for employment in the excepted or competitive service of the city; provided, however, that the appointing authority may disregard such conviction if he finds and determines that mitigating circumstances exist, such as, but not limited to, evidence of rehabilitation, length of time elapsed since such conviction, the age of such person at the time of conviction, or the fact that the classification applied for is unrelated to such conviction.

B.

The administrator/finance director, chief of police, city attorney, and each appointing authority of the city, are authorized to have access to the "State Summary Criminal History Information" as provided for in Section 11105 of the Penal Code of the state of California.
