(70 ILCS 1210/3) (from Ch. 24 1/2, par. 80)
Sec. 3.
The superintendent of employment shall, with the consent and
approval of said Civil Service Board, classify within ninety days after
this Act goes into effect, all offices and places of employment in said
park district with reference to the duties thereof for the purpose of
establishing grades, and of fixing and maintaining standards of
examinations hereinafter provided for. The offices and places so classified
shall constitute the classified civil service of such park districts, and
no appointments, promotions, transfers, reductions in grade or removal
therefrom shall be made except under and according to the provisions of
this Act and of the rules hereinafter mentioned. As a part of such
classified civil service, all officers and employees under said board,
except special examiners, shall be included. The superintendent of
employment shall ascertain and record the duties of each office and place
in the classified civil service and designate the grade of each position.
Each grade shall comprise offices and places having substantially similar
duties. He shall also record the lines of promotion from each lower grade
to a higher grade wherever the experience derived in the performance of the
duties of such lower grade tends to qualify for the performance of duty in
such higher grade. The Civil Service Board shall by rule prescribe
standards of efficiency for each grade and for examinations of candidates
for appointment thereto.
For the purpose of establishing standards as bases for uniformity of pay
and title for all offices and places of employment classified in the same
grade, it shall be the duty of the Civil Service Board to prescribe by rule
the maximum and minimum rate of pay for each grade and the title thereof
for the guidance of the commissioners in determining the actual pay for
each office or place of employment and to report to the park commissioners
annually and at such other times as they may direct, the name and address
of each officer and employee paid more than maximum or less than the
minimum rate of pay prescribed for his grade or designated by a title other
than that prescribed for his grade by the board. It shall be the duty of
the park commissioners, within thirty days after receiving such report, to
change the pay or title of any officer or employee so reported out of grade
to conform to the standards of title and pay prescribed by the board, for
the guidance of the commissioners, for the grade in which the position held
by such officer or employee is classified. The board shall standardize
employment in each grade and make and keep a record of the relative
efficiency of each officer and employee in the classified civil service.
The board shall provide by rule methods for ascertaining and verifying the
facts from which such records of relative efficiency shall be made, which
shall be uniform for each grade in the classified civil service.
The board shall also classify all positions of employment in respect to
employees whose employment is transferred to a park district by virtue of
"An Act in relation to an exchange of certain functions, property and
personnel among cities, and park districts having coextensive geographic
areas and populations in excess of 500,000," enacted by the 70th General
Assembly, and such positions of employment shall be included in the
classified civil service of the park district.
