in effectSec. 14-61. - Allocation of new positions and reallocation.
(a) Whenever a new position is created by the mayor and council, the commission shall allocate the position to its proper class in the classification plan, or if no suitable class exists, one shall be established as provided in these rules and the position allocated thereto.
(b) Whenever the duties of a position are so changed as to justify its allocation to a different class, the commission shall make that reallocation and shall decide whether the change represents a promotion or a demotion for the incumbent of the position. Should it be a promotion, the incumbent must qualify therefor, provided he has not previously done so.
