Order of Selection. All candidates who obtain an overall score of 70%, prior to the addition of any seniority or military preference points, shall be placed on an eligibility roster in rank order of their total score, including seniority and military preference points. When making a promotion, the Fire Chief shall appoint to that position the person with a highest ranking on the final promotional list for that rank, except that the Fire Chief shall have the right to pass over that person and appoint the next highest rank person on the list if the Fire Chief has reason to conclude that the highest ranking person has demonstrated substantial shortcomings in work performance or is engaged in misconduct affecting the person’s ability to perform the duties of the promoted rank since the posting of the promotion list. If the highest ranking person is passed over, the Fire Chief shall document his/her reasons for the decision to select the next highest ranking person on the list. Unless the reasons for passing over the highest ranking person are not remediable, no person who is the highest ranking person on the list at the time of the vacancy shall be passed over more than once. Any dispute as to the selection of the first or second highest ranking person shall be subject to resolution in accordance with the grievance procedure in Article 7 of this Agreement.
