    B. 
    The Personnel Board, upon written recommendation of a department head and for good cause shown, may waive, modify or suspend, subject to such condition as the Board may deem appropriate under the circumstances, the requirements of this section if such waiver, modification or suspension is shown to be in the best interests of the Town.
