BOOK 94 F,u 919 <br />Deputy County Attorney Will Collins explained that the Board <br />was present to hear the appeal by Lisa Freeman, a Secretary I, <br />Emergency Services Department, of Administrator Chandler's <br />determination to uphold Emergency Services Director Doug Wright's <br />termination of her employment. He advised that a pre -termination <br />hearing before Director Wright took almost four hours; and the <br />appeal hearing before Administrator Chandler lasted almost seven <br />hours. He would try to consolidate that a little bit. He pointed <br />out the extensive exhibits from the prior hearings were available <br />if there were any questions, but not all of them would be <br />introduced. <br />Deputy County Attorney Collins reported that Emergency <br />Management Coordinator John King and Emergency Services Director <br />Doug Wright would give summaries of what led to this hearing and <br />then Attorney Robert Stone would present his client's appeal. <br />Deputy County Attorney Collins summarized that Lisa Freeman <br />was charged by Mr. King with a series of incidents which <br />demonstrated poor performance on her part and specifically charged <br />that she neglected to comply with requirements set forth in <br />departmental rules and standards of conduct. Director Wright had <br />found that five of the six incidents had merit and determined to <br />terminate Ms. Freeman. <br />Deputy County Attorney Will Collins reviewed the incidents set <br />out in the following letter:' <br />:UCY <br />Indian River County <br />Board of County Commissioners <br />Department of Emergency Services <br />1840 25th Street, Vero Beach, Florida 32960 <br />February 14, 1995 <br />Lisa Freeman <br />Secretary I <br />Division of Emergency Management <br />1840 25th Street <br />Vero Beach, Florida 32960 <br />Re: Pre -Termination Hearing <br />Dear Ms. Freeman: <br />I have reviewed and studied the information provided to me at your <br />pre -termination hearing which was held on February 8, 1995.
