Attorney Stone queried Mr. King concerning the incidents <br />relating to 20 -minutes compensatory time, the return of Miss <br />Freeman's key, and the dates she reported late to work. In <br />connection with the latter, Attorney Stone introduced a piece of <br />new evidence, on HRS letterhead, from HRS security concerning Paula <br />Freeman's entry into their building on September 27th. (Clerk's <br />Note: It was subsequently determined that Paula Freeman is Lisa <br />Freeman's sister and the new evidence had no bearing on what time <br />Lisa reported for work in the County Administration Building. Mr. <br />Stone apologized, that he had in no way intended confusion, but he <br />had been handed the documents with no time to study them or <br />determine their relevancy. Attorney Collins stipulated that Paula <br />was at her job place at 8 o'clock.) <br />Attorney Stone questioned Mr. King as to when Mrs. Lopresti, <br />Lisa's -supervisor, began working in the department. Mr. King <br />believed Mrs. Lopresti came in April of 1994, but she was not <br />Lisa's supervisor, he was. <br />Attorney Stone reviewed with Mr. King Miss Freeman's <br />evaluations of 1991, 1992, 1993, and 1994, and deduced she was <br />improving. He further observed that Lisa had not received any <br />reprimands prior to Mrs. Lopresti coming. Mr. King explained how <br />he used evaluations as motivational tools and that Lisa's work was <br />not improving with time. <br />Mr. King denied Attorney Stone's allegation that .he. was <br />responsible, not Lisa, for the incorrect photocopying of the report <br />that surfaced during the Coopers & Lybrand audit. <br />Attorney Stone reviewed Lisa's duties concluding that they had <br />lessened from secretarial tasks to merely clerical duties after <br />Mrs. Lopresti had come to work for the department. Mr. King <br />indicated her duties had diminished due to errors and continued <br />need for close supervision. <br />Attorney Stone questioned Mr. King concerning the HAZMAT, <br />bookshelf, and Coopers & Lybrand incidents and implied Lisa was not <br />at fault, had received poor instructions or did not understand what <br />was expected. <br />Attorney Stone clarified that Lisa's charge of harassment was <br />misunderstood, that it was not sexual harassment, but referred not <br />only to Mr. King's actions, but to those of others in the office as <br />well. <br />Emergency Services Director Doug Wright was the next witness <br />and he clarified that Mrs. Lopresti was an Emergency Management <br />Planner, a position funded totally by grants, and a position with <br />15 BOOK 9 a� <br />April 24, 1995 <br />
