didn't see any indication that Mr. Hart has been disciplined for <br />repeat offenses of that. He was told by his supervisor not to be <br />in that area, and has not been in that area again. <br />Sanford Hart, appellant, asked the Board to excuse his voice <br />because he was down with the flu. He stated that everything being <br />said today is the whole situation, that's the way everything was. <br />He had talked with Mr. Pinto after the incident happened and then <br />later with Mr. Chandler, and he has learned from his.experience. <br />He just wanted to continue working for this County as long as he <br />can because he felt he has given 100% in his life and time for this <br />job. He stated that he does care about his job. He loves it. He <br />made a mistake, but wished to continue working here and do the best <br />he can. <br />In response to Commissioner Bird's comments about the May 11, <br />1993 incident, Utilities Maintenance Supervisor Rocky Renda, Mr. <br />Hart's immediate supervisor, appeared and clarified the other <br />disciplines filed against Mr. Hart. He explained that Mr. Hart was <br />wasting time, over and above his lunch period, with 2 other men in <br />the utility crew without calling in. They took ice out of the <br />coolers which they fill up in the morning and were giving it to the <br />people in Gifford. Regarding the use of the County vehicle, Mr. <br />Renda reported that he had met with Harry Asher, Assistant Director <br />of Utilities, after they received a report that a County vehicle <br />was seen speeding and weaving in traffic. <br />Commissioner Adams had ambivalent feelings on this because she <br />was not convinced that this is a totally terminable offense except <br />for the fact that there are some additional offenses that show a <br />little bit of a pattern. However, she felt we have some policies <br />that still need to be looked at and tightened up. She was not <br />saying we need to relax this one at all. She preferred to have <br />them too strong rather than too lax. She was inclined to support <br />Mr. Chandler's determination for Mr. Hart's termination. <br />Chairman Tippin then asked if there were any further <br />discussion of the matter. There was none. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Macht, the Board, by a 4-0 vote <br />(Commissioner Eggert being absent) unanimously <br />upheld Sherman Hart's termination. <br />7 BOOK c zJ FAB[ I) <br />DECEMBER 6, 1994 <br />
