B. The commission may, by resolution, establish a longer probationary period, not to exceed twelve months of actual service, for such classes as it may specify, if it deems that such longer period of time is reasonably necessary to fulfill the objectives of the probationary period. C. The above provisions shall not apply to any temporary appointment. (Prior code § 2007.8; Ords. 24634, 26850.)
