Vacancies Whenever a vacancy occurs, so long as the applicant meets the minimum qualifications, the applicant with the greater seniority making a request in writing consistent with Section 16.2 for transfer to said vacancy shall be selected, unless the skills and ability of another applicant is greater and the Sheriff determines that such skills and ability are needed to fill the vacancy. When a vacancy is filled by someone other than the senior applicant, the senior applicant may request a meeting with the division commander to be told the reason his request was denied. This Section will not apply to personnel with less than one (1) year of service. Special assignments may be made to effect the completion of a specific project or task without regard to this paragraph for a period not to exceed one (1) year. If such special assignments must exceed one (1) year, the Employer will notify the Union and negotiate on demand. This Article shall be subordinated to the need to assign an individual of the right sex to the appropriate section of the jail.
Vacancies Whenever a vacancy exists in the Board of Trustees, regardless of the reason for such vacancy, the remaining Trustees shall appoint any person as they determine in their sole discretion to fill that vacancy, consistent with the limitations under the 1940 Act. Such appointment shall be made by a written instrument signed by a majority of the Trustees or by a resolution of the Trustees, duly adopted and recorded in the records of the Trust, specifying the effective date of the appointment. The Trustees may appoint a new Trustee as provided above in anticipation of a vacancy expected to occur because of the retirement, resignation or removal of a Trustee, or an increase in number of Trustees, provided that such appointment shall become effective only at or after the expected vacancy occurs. Upon the appointment and/or election of a successor Trustee, the trust estate shall vest in the new Trustee, together with the continuing Trustees, without any further act or conveyance, and he shall be deemed a Trustee hereunder.
