The board shall have power to make rules and regulations applicable to civil service employees and, in part, to grandfathered employees, governing examinations, eligible registers, appointments, transfers, salaries, promotions, demotions, annual and sick leave, and such other matters as may be necessary to accomplish the purposes of this subpart. A rule or regulation of the board may be made effective only after a public hearing is held on the proposal thereof and after a certified copy thereof has been filed with the city clerk. All employees shall be appointed upon a non-partisan merit basis. There shall not be appointed, and the board shall not examine, any person who is not a citizen of the United States. With regard to civil service employees, the board shall: (1) Classify the different types of services to be performed in the service of the city; (2) prescribe qualifications, including those of education, training, and experience, for the appointees and incumbents of each class; (3) with the approval of the city council, fix a maximum and minimum salary for each class; and (4) allocate each position in the service to its proper class. It shall provide for the periodic rating of civil service employees and grandfathered employees according to their merit to determine whether they are maintaining standards of service. The board shall establish rules and regulations governing dismissals, suspensions, layoffs, terminations, and leaves of absence, and the severance of a civil service employee’s and a grandfathered employee’s relationship with the city shall be in accordance with such regulations.
