C. The typical duties listed in the Commission's class descriptions are descriptive and explanatory only and
do not restrict the administration from assigning other duties to any position. In general, they shall be listed in order of importance. The core duties shall be listed first the class descriptions indicate the kinds of positions that should be placed in the respective classes, as determined by their duties and responsibilities, and do not prescribe what these details shall be in respect to any single position, unless a single-position class is involved. The use of a particular expression or illustration as to duties and responsibilities is typical and descriptive of the class and does not exclude duties and responsibilities not mentioned, but of similar kind or level, as determined by the Personnel Commission.
D. In order to determine the class into which any position shall be placed, the description for each class shall be considered as a whole, rather than as a collection of isolated clauses, phrases, or words apart from the context. Each class description shall be construed in its proper relationship to other descriptions, particularly those of classes in the same group and series of classes.
E. Classes will be arranged in groups according to one or more of the following criteria, which are listed in descending order of importance.
