In addition to your having violated the above Sections, I have concluded that your conduct warrants disciplinary action according to the Indian River County Policy Manual, Section AM -807.2, as follows: GROUP TWO OFFENSES, Section AM -807.2 (3) - Neglecting to comply with requirements set forth in departmental rules and standards of conduct. The sections referenced above are a part of the policy and rules and regulations related to conduct and behavior that all county employees are required to follow. They are reasonable and clearly stated, easy to understand, and you did not adhere to them in the incidents stated above as the basis for disciplinary action. If an employee consultation, two verbal warnings, two written warnings, and a recommendation for a pre -termination hearing were insufficient motivation for you to improve in your job performance, behavior, and attitude, I do not feel further efforts to rehabilitate you would be fruitful. If the incidents cited above were each standing independently and alone over a long period of time, they would possibly not be so significant. However, given the fact that the incidents occurred over a period of less than five months, the incidents collectively demonstrate a substantial decline in your job performance, attitude, and behavior, which creates a paramount concern to both your supervisor and myself that must be addressed in the interest of efficient departmental operation. During the entire four hour hearing, you submitted no documents in your defense and never once did you state that you wanted another chance to work in this department. You did state that you wanted to continue to work for -the County. I assume that you meant you wanted to work in another department. However, it is not the policy of the County to transfer a person who is encountering a disciplinary problem to another Department. I do not feel you would be successful in this Department -if you were allowed another chance or reinstated given the feelings communicated to me by staff members who are concerned that you will again make false allegations against them when they try to help you improve your administrative skills. Given the totality of the circumstances, I have decided to. terminate your employment with the Department of Emergency Services, Division of Emergency Management effective Friday, February 24, 1995, at the close of business. Although I provided you with documents regarding your appeal rights with your notice of the Pre -Termination Hearing, I am including another copy of Section AM -807.1 (Pages 3-5) for your review and action as you deem appropriate. 8 April 24, 1995
