tical  subdivision  in  which  such  city  or civil division is located,
except for the position of director of facilities I,  II,  &  III  of  a

oped  pursuant to subdivision five of section seventeen of this chapter.
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT NOTHING CONTAINED HEREIN SHALL PREVENT A MUNICI-
PAL COMMISSION FROM USING ALTERNATE LISTS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED  TO
