August 9, 1994, a post demotion hearing was held in my presence on Thursday, August :.1$,. '1994..:..

It was agreed by both parties that the memorandum of January 10, 1994, from Lynn Williams, Superintendent, Buildings and Grounds Division, to Jack Price, Personnel Director had outlined all reasons for the demotion in question. It was also stipulated by both parties that the DUI conviction of January 6, 1994 was not in question, since that was determined by legal proceedings in a court of law. I have carefully reviewed the facts presented at this hearing, as well as data that was relevant and available at the time a determination was made by Mr. Williams. I had anticipated that evidence and/or information would have been introduced in the meeting which had not been known by management prior. * However, this was not -the case. The demotion was based solely on three factors: 1. The loss of your drivers license prevents you from performing all the duties o:C a Tradesworker II. 2. Unlawful conduct off the job that tends to affect your relationship to fellow workers and negatively reflects - on the reputation of the County. 3. There is no other comparable position within the department that you could be transferred to and maintain the same pay and -privileges. N October 19, 1994 M M
