Sec. 3-14019.
Promotions.
The Commission shall, by its rules,
provide for promotion in such classified service, on the basis of
ascertained merit, examination and seniority in service, and shall provide,
in all cases where it is practicable, that vacancies shall be filled by
promotion. All examinations for promotion shall be competitive among such
members of the next lower rank or grade as desire to submit themselves to
such examination; provided, however, the commission, in order to create or
increase competition, may combine ranks or grades for the purpose of
promotion; and it shall be the duty of the commission to submit to the
appointing power the names of not more than three applicants for each
promotion having the highest rating. The method of examination and the
rules governing the same and the method of certifying shall be the same as
provided for applicants for original appointment.
