religion, color, national origin, ancestry, physical disability, mental disability, medical
condition, genetic information, marital status, sex, gender, gender identity, gender
expression, age, sexual orientation, and military and veteran status, except where age
or lack of physical disability is a bona fide occupational qualification.
21.5 Candidates who qualify for employment or promotion shall be placed on an eligibility
list for the appropriate job class. At such times as a department management evaluation
is included in the establishment of a promotional eligibility list, the list shall rank the
eligible candidates in the order of final evaluation, and appointments from that list shall
