Marysville Municipal Code Art. 4 Eligibility Lists

(a) After an examination has been completed the Personnel Director shall prepare an eligibility list consisting of the names of persons successfully passing the examination from which future vacancies in the corresponding classification shall be filled, if not otherwise filled by transfer, demotion, or reemployment as provided in this Part.

(b) Names of candidates shall be arranged on the eligibility list in order of final ratings received, from the highest to the lowest qualifying score.

(c) Scores shall be computed in accordance with the relative weighted value, expressed as a percentage, assigned to each part of the examination; provided, however, that the final ratings shall be determined by the total of the scores received by each candidate for all parts of the examination.

(d) Whenever identical ratings are received, names of candidates shall be arranged in order of scores on that part of the examination which was assigned the heaviest relative value.

(e) All candidates achieving the same composite scores shall be considered of equal rank in the certification of eligibles in accordance with Article 5 hereof.

Unless an appeal is received under Article 6 of this Chapter from some action in connection with an examination, eligibility lists shall become effective upon certification by the Personnel Director that the list was legally prepared and represents the candidates' relative rankings in relation to all other candidates in the same examination.

(a) Eligibility lists shall remain in effect one year unless canceled sooner when, in the opinion of the Personnel Director, a list no longer meets the needs of the Career service.

(b) Upon a showing of need a list may be extended by action of the Personnel Director for additional one month periods, but in no event shall a list remain in effect for more than fifteen (15) months, nor shall any names remain on such a list for more than the life of the list.

(c) At any time during the life of an eligibility list the Personnel Director may establish a new eligibility list by holding another examination; provided, however, that the existing eligibility list may have precedence over the new list, or the new list may be merged by final score with the names remaining on the previous list, as the Personnel Director determines.

(d) This section shall have no effect on procedures detailed in Section 8254 hereof regarding administration of continuous examinations.

Names of eligible persons may be withheld from certification from an eligibility list or be placed in inactive status on the list by the Personnel Director for any of the following reasons:

(a) At the request of the eligible, pursuant to Section 8304 hereof;

(b) Inability of postal authorities to deliver mail to the applicant within reasonable time;

(c) Conviction of a felony or misdemeanor which is of such a nature as to have an adverse effect on the candidate's ability to perform the duties and responsibilities of the job;

(d) Proof of fraud or false representation in the employment application, or proof of fraudulent conduct in connection with an examination;

(e) Permanent appointment to a position in the class for which the eligibility list was established, or for which the list is deemed suitable by the Personnel Director.

(f) Upon separation from the Career service of an eligible person on a promotional eligibility list;

(g) Refusal of an offer of appointment, except as provided under Sections 8403 and 8404 hereof;

(h) Failure to appear for an interview with the appointing authority or employing department within a reasonable time after notification of certification, or failure to appear for work after acceptance of an offer of appointment;

(i) Death of the eligible.

Eligible persons may waive certification upon giving satisfactory reason in writing to the Personnel Director.

(a) A waiver under this section must be filed within five (5) days from the date of certification and, if approved, the name of the candidate shall not be considered for appointment until such waiver has expired or has been withdrawn.

(b) A waiver, whether continuous or otherwise, shall not be approved for a period of time which exceeds the life of the corresponding eligibility list.

Names which have been removed from eligibility lists may be restored by the Personnel Director for the duration of the lists for any of the following reasons:

(a) Acceptance of the reason for waiver of certification;

(b) Acceptance of the reason for non-appearance for interview with the appointing authority or employing department after certification.

At any time during the life of an eligibility list, an eligible person whose name appears thereon may request the Personnel Director to transfer eligibility to another eligibility list for a lower level in the same classification series or occupational group.

(a) No transfer hereunder shall be authorized to any class of position for which the requesting person does not fully posses the qualifications of education, experience, and physical condition, if applicable, prescribed for that class, except as provided in Chapter 2 of this Part for trainee classifications.

(b) The name of any person whose eligibility is transferred from one list to another pursuant to this Section shall be unranked on the new list, unless the Personnel Director first administers the same examination administered to all other eligibles on the new list, in which case the name of the transferee shall be ranked according to the final score achieved.
