SEC. 10.105. PROVISIONAL APPOINTMENTS.
§ 10.105
Provisional appointments to classified city jobs without an eligible candidates list are limited to three years, and any renewal requires Board of Supervisors approval and a Human Resources Director's certification that exam delays were unavoidable.
When the city hires someone provisionally for a job because there's no list of tested candidates yet, that person can only stay in that role for up to three years. If the city wants to keep them longer, the Board of Supervisors must say yes, and the Human Resources Director must explain in writing that the department couldn't run the required exam due to circumstances beyond its control.
- Complex:The section mixes procedural requirements (Board approval, Director certification) with conditional language (reasons beyond control) that could benefit from clearer organization of the two conditions for renewal.
