On September 13, 2016 the Civil Service Board of Commissioners recommended that

forwarded to the Mayor and Common Council for adoption.

The proposed changes to Civil Service Rules (CSR) 305, 401.1, 411, 412 and 500.2
pertain to the qualification and disqualification of applicants and eligibles more clearly
defining the circumstances under which a candidate can be disqualified or removed
from an eligibility or re-employment list. The proposed change to CSR 510 restricts
voluntary demotions for classified personnel to vacant positions.
The proposed changes to CSR 305, 401.1, 411, 412, 500.2 and 510 were distributed to
each of the employee bargaining units for consideration the first week in August 2016.
All of the bargaining units were given an opportunity to meet and discuss the proposed
changes.
On September 13, 2016 the Civil Service Board of Commissioners took action to adopt
the revisions to Civil Service Rules 305, 401.1, 411, 412, 500.2 and 510 recommending
that the Mayor and Common Council adopt the revisions identified in EXHIBIT "A" and

requirement. The Chief Examiner shall reject any application which indicates on
its face that the applicant does not possess the minimum qualifications required by s
the announcement of the examination, or it is obvious that the applicant is o
physically unfit for the performance of the duties of the class. Rejected xs
applications may subsequently be accepted on a showing by the applicant that the o
applicant does possess the necessary qualifications, provided that such showing is M
made before the date of examination. An application may be rejected on the
finding by the Chief Examiner that the applicant is addicted to the habitual
CY
excessive use of drugs or intoxicating liquors, or has been ' of
,solving n=refal tufpittide, o willfully made any false statements of any O
material facts, or has practiced or attempted to practice any deception or fraud in
the application. An application may be rejected on the finding by the Chief` 06
Examiner that the applicant failed to meet pre-employment medical examination; 10
or background check investigation requirements. the applicant was discharged
from probation the applicant was terminated from the City for cause, or the �
