441.6  Appointment of assessor.

When a vacancy occurs in the office of city or county assessor, the examining board shall, within seven days of the occurrence of the vacancy, request the director of revenue and finance to forward a register containing the names of all individuals eligible for appointment as assessor. The examining board may, at its own expense, conduct a further examination, either written or oral, of any person whose name appears on the register, and shall make written report of the examination and submit the report together with the names of those individuals certified by the director of revenue and finance to the conference board within fifteen days after the receipt of the register from the director of revenue and finance.

Upon receipt of the report of the examining board, the chairperson of the conference board shall by written notice call a meeting of the conference board to appoint an assessor. The meeting shall be held not later than seven days after the receipt of the report of the examining board by the conference board. The physical condition, general reputation of the applicants, and their fitness for the position as determined by the examining board shall be taken into consideration in making the appointment. At the meeting, the conference board shall appoint an assessor from the register of eligible candidates. However, if a special examination has not been conducted previously for the same vacancy, the conference board may request the director of revenue and finance to hold a special examination pursuant to section 441.7. The chairperson of the conference board shall give written notice to the director of revenue and finance of the appointment and its effective date within ten days of the decision of the board.
