Whenever Borough Council shall deem it necessary to make personnel reductions in the police force, the Commission shall prepare and maintain a list containing the name, rank and length of full-time service of each furloughed officer. Names on the furlough list shall be arranged in priority order based on the length of service of each furloughed officer.
A. 
In addition to other reasons stated as grounds for removal in these rules and regulations, the name of a person appearing on a furlough list shall be removed by the Commission if that person:
(1) 
Is appointed to a position in the Police Department; or
(2) 
Declines an appointment to a permanent position in the Police Department; or
(3) 
Indicated availability for appointment and is so appointed but fails to report for duty at the time prescribed, unless, in the opinion of Borough Council, such person can show good and sufficient reason for failing to report.
B. 
The Commission may, at its own discretion, remove from a furlough list the name of any person certified for appointment consideration three times as the top name, but not appointed.
C. 
Nothing in this section, however, shall be construed as authorizing the removal of the name of a person from a furlough list who refuses to accept a position of lower rank than that from which furloughed.
