(a) The Civil Service Board of Calhoun County may, in cases where the board and the appointing authority deem it proper, authorize the appointing authority to fill a vacancy in the classified service with a temporary individual, if an eligibility list for the position is not available, or if the appointing authority notifies the board in writing that an emergency exists and he or she may not properly operate his or her office while the normal procedures are being followed to fill the vacancy. Normally, the employment of a temporary individual to fill a classified service position shall not exceed a period of 90 calendar days, but the board may extend the appointment for an additional 90 calendar days, when the board and appointing authority determine such action to be warranted. However, all temporary appointments shall be terminated when an eligibility register has been established by the board for the vacancy and an individual has been appointed from the list.
