Where the salary heretofore paid an employee is in excess of the maximum rate herein
provided such salary shall continue in effect as long as such employee continues to
serve the city in the same capacity and to render satisfactory service. Officers and
employees entering the service of the city shall begin at the minimum rate for the
classification to which they are being appointed, except in the case of such classes
of employees for which no specific steps are set forth, in which case the compensation
shall be fixed at such rate between the minimum and maximum prescribed, as may be
determined by the appointing authority; provided, that in exceptional cases, the appointing
authority is hereby empowered, subject to the approval of the civil service commission,
to employ persons at rates higher than the minimum rate prescribed if, in the judgment
of the appointing authority, it is impossible to obtain properly qualified persons
at the minimum rate. Where both hourly and annual rates are prescribed in the compensation
schedule for a class, the appointing authority shall determine which rate shall prevail.
