The director shall maintain a class specification for each class of positions. Each class specification shall include the class title, a description of representative duties and responsibilities of positions included in the class, and a statement of the qualifications required and/or desired for positions in the class.

(1) Interpretation of Class Specifications. Class specifications are intended to be a general description of the kinds of positions that are classified to the class as determined by their duties and responsibilities and are not to be construed as prescribing what the duties of any individual position shall be. The class specifications are to be used as a guide by the employing official in assigning, directing and controlling the work of the employees under his/her supervision. The use of specific expressions or illustrations pertaining to the duties, qualifications or other requirements of the class are descriptive only and shall not be construed to exclude others not specifically mentioned which are of a related nature.

(2) Statement of General Qualifications. Qualifications commonly required of all employees such as acceptable physical condition, honesty, sobriety and industry shall be implied as entrance requirements to each class and need not be specifically mentioned in the specifications.

(3) Use in Examination. The class specifications shall be used as the basis for determining the suitability of candidates for employment by supplying information basic to the preparation of qualifying tests and examinations. The specification for any class shall constitute the basis and source of authority for the examination for the class and for the evaluation of the qualifications of applicants. (Added by Ord. 84-129 § 2, Nov. 21, 1984).
