(70 ILCS 1545/5) (from Ch. 105, par. 333.55)
Sec. 5.
All persons employed by the city upon the effective date in
positions related to the management, maintenance, supervision and operation
of the parks and playgrounds transferred to the park district who held such
positions by virtue of the classified civil service under Division 1 of
Article 10 of the Illinois Municipal Code, as heretofore and hereafter
amended, shall be transferred to the employment of the park district and
be given a comparable civil service status under "An Act relating to the
civil service in park systems," approved June 10, 1911, as amended,
without examination. Eligible and re-employment registers of the civil
service commission of the city pertaining to such positions of employment
shall be transferred to the civil service board of the park district and
accorded the same legal status in respect to persons designated therein as
if such registers had been established under the procedures of the civil
service board of the park district. The civil service board of the park
district shall classify the positions of all employees so transferred and
such employees shall be assigned to positions, so far as may be
practicable, having duties and responsibilities equivalent to their city
employment. The civil service board of the park district may, in its
discretion, cancel any eligible register of the civil service commission of
the city transferred to it as has been in force more than two years.
