[CC 1988 §27.200; Ord. No. 3311 §2, 9-2-2014]
A. Types of Appeals Heard.
1.
The Police Review Board/Personnel Review Board shall hear appeals
filed by full-time, non-probationary employees arising from disciplinary
employment actions resulting in termination, suspension without pay
or demotion with reduction in pay in accord with the provisions of
the City Code. Appeals shall be limited to those individual employment
actions which are implemented for disciplinary purposes or reasons,
and the Board shall solely determine:
a.
Whether the employee is guilty of the transgression that motivated
the disciplinary action; and
b.
The appropriateness of the disciplinary action and whether alternate
disciplinary action should be taken.
2.
Except as provided for in this Subsection, all other administrative
actions falling within the City Administrator's discretionary authority
to organize and manage the City's workforce, which are not motivated
by or premised upon discipline, are not subject to Personnel Board
consideration.
B. The Police Review Board/Personnel Review Board shall review the matter
in a closed session and issue a written decision within thirty (30)
days.
C. Both the appealing employee and the department head or City Administrator
whose action is reviewed shall have the right to be heard in person
or by counsel. At said hearings, technical rules of evidence shall
not apply. An appellant's failure to attend or notify the appropriate
board of his/her inability to attend will constitute just cause for
dismissal of the appeal.
D. The Police Review Board/Personnel Review Board shall file a written
statement of its findings and recommendation with the City Administrator
and with the employee. A copy of this decision shall be filed in the
employee's personnel file.
E. Appeals to the Police Review Board/Personnel Review Board shall not
include general, departmental or City-wide actions as a result of
overall reduction in staff or a budget decision by the City.
