Status: in_force

Except as hereinafter provided, vacancies in positions in the classified service shall be filled by the appointing authority by the appointment of a person whose name is certified, within 30 days after certification. Certification shall be made upon request of the appointing authority therefor whenever a vacancy exists, and the appointing authority, in his or her discretion, determines that such vacancy shall be filled, and the name of an applicant for such vacancy is eligible for certification. Vacancies may be filled by promotion as follows: (1) Selection by the department head from classified employees in the department or (2) selection of the classified employee making the highest grade on a test given by the personnel board upon request of the department head or appointing authority. Vacancies not filled by promotion shall be filled from the eligibility list established by the personnel board for original employment. Upon request of the appointing authority, the personnel board shall certify to the appointing authority five names which rank highest on the employment eligibility list for the employee classification desired. Certification of the five highest ranked names on the employment list shall be made by the personnel board to the appointing authority, who shall make a final selection of the person to be appointed to fill such vacancy. If after making a reasonable effort, it should prove impossible for the appointing authority to locate any of the persons so certified or should it become known to the board that any person so certified is not willing to accept the position, the appointing authority may request that additional names be certified until the appointing authority has available to him or her a list from which to make the appointment containing the aforesaid authorized number of persons, all of whom are available for such appointment and willing to accept the position. In the event that the list certified to the appointing authority contains fewer than the authorized number of available and willing persons as aforesaid from which to make a selection, the appointing authority, in his or her discretion, may choose from the remaining certified names, make a temporary appointment, or make no appointment. In the event that there does not exist an employment list which the board deems to be appropriate from which to fill the vacancy, the board shall prepare a list within the reasonable time after receipt of the request of the appointing authority that eligibility be certified. Provided, however, nothing herein contained shall be construed as preventing an appointing authority, in his or her discretion, from withdrawing his or her request for the aforesaid certification, either before or after such certification has been made in response to his or her request therefor. Whenever a person has been certified to and rejected by an appointing authority three times, the board may remove the name of such person from the eligible list on which his or her name appeared. A person shall be deemed to have been so rejected by an appointing authority when a vacancy is filled from an eligible list on which his or her name appeared and such person was not selected to fill the vacancy.

Section 45-37A-461 Electric Supplier Service Territories
Status: in_force

(a) The Legislature of the State of Alabama has investigated the economic, financial, and environmental impact associated with the potential for duplication of electric distribution facilities used for the furnishing of retail electric service in and around the City of Tarrant City, Alabama. Among its findings is that with respect to retail electric service industry, the benefits normally associated with competition between two suppliers for customers is outweighed by the tremendous cost burden which must be borne by such customers associated with the maintenance of two or more duplicate sets of facilities. It is the further finding of the Legislature that the existence of duplicate facilities for the furnishing of electricity at retail in Tarrant City is not in the public interest because of the adverse impact which such duplication has on environmental and aesthetic values and on safety. It is therefore declared that the policy of the State of Alabama is to ensure effective, economical, and orderly supply of electric service at retail to customers in and around Tarrant City and to avoid unnecessary duplication of facilities by electric suppliers for the furnishing of such services in that area which would result in waste and in degradation of the environment. To accomplish these objectives, it is necessary and in the public interest to establish, mandate, and implement procedures for determining which electric supplier shall furnish electric service to customers at retail in and around Tarrant City.

(b) That certain agreement dated June 8, 1983, by and between Tarrant City and Alabama Power Company, including 13 pages and a map attached as Exhibit 1 to the agreement, which agreement is entitled Agreement Between The City of Tarrant City, Alabama and Alabama Power Company, has been reviewed by the Legislature, determined to be in the public interest, and found to be consistent with the purposes and policies of the State of Alabama. In the area in and around Tarrant City described in such agreement, the State of Alabama hereby orders and mandates that the procedures for elimination and prevention of the duplication of electric distribution facilities set forth in such agreement shall be followed.

(c) The provisions of this section are not severable. If any part of this section is declared invalid under the constitution or laws of this state, such declaration shall render invalid all parts which remain.

(d) A copy of the agreement referred to in the legislation proposed above is on file and available for inspection in the office of the Clerk of the City of Tarrant City, Alabama.
