ANNOTATION

Sources: No specific source.

Purposes: This section is necessary to accomplish the reorganization required by the Charter. Reference to City employees as being "temporary appointees" or "temporarily placed" is not intended to denote that employees under the 1919 Charter become, upon this Charter going into effect, "temporary" employees in the sense in which that term is used in civil service parlance. They do not lose their employment status upon this Charter taking effect but may be assigned temporarily to new agencies as provided in this section pending complete reorganization. See Section A-104.
