17 office or place to be filled, which qualifications shall be
18 prescribed in advance of such examination. Such examinations
19 shall be practical in their character, and shall relate to
20 those matters which will fairly test the relative capacity of
21 the persons examined to discharge the duties of the position
22 to which they seek to be appointed, and may include tests of
-2- LRB9008757MWpcam
1 physical qualifications and health and when appropriate, of
2 manual skill. No question in any examination shall relate to
3 political or religious opinions or affiliations. The
4 Director shall control all examinations, and may, whenever an
5 examination is to take place, designate a suitable number of
6 persons to be special examiners and it shall be the duty of
7 such special examiners to conduct such examinations as the
8 Director may direct, and to make return and report thereof to
9 him; and he may at any time substitute any other person in
10 the place of any one so selected; and he may himself, at any
11 time, act as such special examiner, and without appointing
12 other special examiners. The Director shall, by rule,
13 provide for and shall hold sufficient number of examinations
14 to provide a sufficient number of eligibles on the register
15 for each grade of position in the classified civil service,
16 and if any place in the classified civil service shall become
17 vacant, to which there is no person eligible for appointment,
18 he shall hold an examination for such position and repeat the
19 same, if necessary, until a vacancy is filled in accordance
20 with the provisions of this Act.
21 Eligible registers shall remain in force for 3 years,
22 except the eligible register for laborers which shall remain
23 in force for 4 years and except the eligible registers for
24 student programs and entry level engineering positions which,
25 in the Director's discretion, may remain in force for one
26 year.
27 Examinations for an eligible list for each position in
28 the classified service above mentioned shall be held at least
29 once in 3 years and at least annually for student programs
30 and entry level engineering positions if the Director has
31 limited the duration of the registers for those positions to
32 one year, unless the Director determines that such
33 examinations are not necessary because no vacancy exists.
34 To help defray expenses of examinations, the sanitary
-3- LRB9008757MWpcam
1 district may, but need not, charge a fee to each applicant
2 who desires to take a civil service examination provided for
3 by this Act. The amount of such fees shall be set by the
4 corporate authority of the sanitary district. Such fees
5 shall be deposited in the corporate fund of the district.

15 Director, and the Director shall certify to him from the
16 register of eligibles for the position the names and
17 addresses (a) of the five candidates standing highest upon
18 the register of eligibles for the position, or (b) of the
19 candidates within the highest ranking group upon the register
20 of eligibles if the register is by categories such as
21 excellent, well qualified, and qualified, provided, however,
22 that any certification shall consist of at least 5 names, if
23 available. The Director shall certify names from succeeding

30 to be fixed by the rules, not exceeding one year. At any

4 may, with the authority of the Director, make a temporary
5 appointment to remain in force only until a permanent
6 appointment from an eligible register or list can be made in

8 Section, and examinations to supply an eligible list therefor

20 specified by the commissioners, together with a statement of
21 the facts in each case because of which the authority was
22 granted.
23 The acceptance or refusal by an eligible person of a
24 temporary appointment does not affect his standing on the
25 register for permanent appointment.

27 Superintendent and shall be on probation for a period to be
28 fixed by the rules, not exceeding one year.
