take place, designate a | 28 |
| suitable number of persons to be special
examiners and it shall | 29 |

| himself, at any
time, act as such special examiner, and without | 2 |
| appointing other special
examiners. The Director shall,
by | 3 |
| rule, provide for and shall hold sufficient number of | 4 |
| examinations to
provide a sufficient number of eligibles on the | 5 |
| register for each grade
of position in the classified civil | 6 |
| service, and if any place in the
classified civil service shall | 7 |
| become vacant, to which there is no
person eligible for | 8 |
| appointment, he shall hold an
examination for such position and | 9 |
| repeat the same, if necessary, until a
vacancy is filled in | 10 |
| accordance with the provisions of this Act.
| 11 |
| Eligible registers shall remain in force for 3 years, | 12 |
| except the
eligible register for laborers which shall remain in | 13 |
| force for 4 years and
except the eligible registers for student | 14 |
| programs and entry level engineering
positions which, in the | 15 |
| Director's discretion, may remain in force for one
year.
| 16 |
| Examinations for an eligible
list for each position in the | 17 |
| classified service above mentioned shall be
held at least once | 18 |
| in 3 years and at least annually for student programs and
entry | 19 |
| level engineering positions if the Director has limited the | 20 |
| duration of
the registers for those positions to one year, | 21 |
| unless the Director determines
that such examinations are not | 22 |
| necessary because no vacancy exists.
| 23 |
| To help defray expenses of examinations, the sanitary | 24 |
| district
may, but need not, charge a fee to each applicant who | 25 |
| desires to take
a civil service examination provided for by | 26 |
| this Act. The amount of
such fees shall be set by the corporate | 27 |
| authority of the sanitary
district. Such fees shall be | 28 |
| deposited in the corporate fund of the district.
