2. B.
   Reemployment. In the event any position of sergeant is abolished due to a reduction in force and the employee holding the position is not retained by the City, the employee's name shall be entered by the Civil Service Commission on any eligibility list for the rank the person previously held and given priority in filling subsequent vacancies in that position or other positions for which the person is eligible.
