The executive session adjourned at 1:45 p.m. and the Civil Service Commission reconvened their meeting. I. REQUEST OF RICK MEADOR FOR A HEARING Chairperson Balsinger stated that the purpose of the meeting was to determine the validity of the appeal of Rick Meador, an Animal Control Officer in the Environmental Health Department. After reviewing the Employee Warning Notices Mr. Meador had received, the personal notes taken by his immediate supervisor, and the accident reports concerning the accidents Mr. Meador had been involved in while operating city vehicles, it was agreed that Mr. Meador should be terminated. Mr. Boatright stated that he felt if this had been a first offense, that Mr. Meador would have the right to a hearing and possibly a second chance. Mrs. Balsinger agreed with Mr. Boatright concerning his statement that Mr. Meador would have a right to a hearing and a second chance if this were a first offense. Mr. Heilman advised the Commission that Mr. Hart, City Manager, felt the termi- nation was warranted and upheld the decision. He further advised that if the Commission denies a hearing, Mr. Meador can appeal their decision to the City Council. Mr. Boatright made a motion to agree with the supervisor's decision, and to deny a hearing with the consensus that in view of the facts as they were presented, there is no evidence to indicate that Mr. Meador was not in violation of city policy as charged. Mrs. Balsinger seconded the motion. Ayes: Mr. Boatright and Mrs. Balsinger Nays: None Absent: Mr. Barnes Chairperson Balsinger declared the motion carried. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business before the Commission, Chairperson Balsinger declared the meeting adjourned at 1:55 p.m. APPROVED: Mrs. Mary Balsinger, Chairperson
