� s A <br />BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br />1840 25th Stmet, Vero Beach, Florida 32960 <br />Telephone: (407) 56741000 <br />November 8, 1994 <br />Mr. Sherman Hart <br />103 N.E. Bottle Brush <br />Palm Bay, FL 32905 <br />Dear Mr. Hart: <br />Suncom Telephone: 224-1011 <br />The following is my decision regarding your appeal of your termination of <br />employment with the Utility Department. This determination is based on the <br />information and testimony presented at the November 4, 1994 appeal meeting. <br />As presented at the meeting, taking a county vehicle home (outside Indian River <br />County) without approval is an extremely serious violation of County policy. <br />You admitted at the meeting that you knew you were not supposed to do so and <br />said that if you had called, someone would have given you a ride home. <br />Additionally, no explanation was given as to why no one was called when you got <br />home, to explain what happened and where the County vehicle was. You stated <br />that you were frustrated and had used bad judgment.. <br />Prior to this incident you were issued a written warning on May 11, 1993 about <br />your work performance. <br />Suspension rather than termination was considered by me. However, based on <br />your response at the meeting, I an not convinced that if reinstated, you would <br />not use the same judgment you did on September 28th when you took the vehicle <br />home. <br />As a result of the preceding, I deny your appeal and uphold the termination by <br />the Utility Director. <br />Personnel Policy AM -807.1 (attached) provides that you have the right to appeal <br />my decision to the Board of County Commissioners. <br />Very truly yours, <br />/James E. Chandler <br />County Administrator <br />JEC/mg <br />cc: Victor Hart <br />Terry O'Brien <br />Terry Pinto <br />Jack Price <br />boa 3 F�,,QL 918 <br />DECEMBER 6, 1994 <br />
