     4    2. a. The council shall promulgate, and may from time to  time  amend,
     5  such  rules  and  regulations  prescribing  height,  weight and physical
     6  fitness requirements for  eligibility  of  persons  for  provisional  or
     7  permanent  appointment  in the competitive class of the civil service as
