Eleventh District Court of Appeals (Lake County)

ISSUES:
- When a fire chief in a classified civil servant system retires with the intent to be immediately rehired, does the retirement create a vacancy that must be filled through the competitive promotional examination process prescribed by state law?
- If a member of the promoted ranks of a classified civil service fire department resigns, can that member be reinstated only to the rank of regular firefighter?
