The decision
CSC published this decision as a scanned image. The text below was recognized by OCR, read twice and checked against the meeting minutes, but OCR can misread a word. The official document is the record.
BackgroundThe appeal of Meagan Gundry, Sheriffs Officer. County of Union, Department of Public Safety, removal effective August 31, 2015, on charges, was heard by Administrative Law Judge Leslie Z. Celentano, who rendered her initial decision on April 25, 2019. No exceptions were filed.
AnalysisHaving considered the record and the Administrative Law Judge’s initial decision, and having made an independent evaluation of the record, the Commission, at its meeting of June 26, 2019, accepted and adopted the Findings of Fact and Conclusion as contained in the attached Administrative Law Judge’s initial decision.
ORDER
The Civil Service Commission finds that the action of the appointing authority in removing the appellant was justified. The Commission therefore affirms that action and dismisses the appeal of Meagan Gundry.

ClosingThis is the final administrative determination in this matter. Any further review should be pursued in a judicial forum.

The labels are ours. The kind of matter and the outcome are our reading of the minutes; the ACTION text the Commission recorded is quoted verbatim above. A decision applies the rules to its own facts and is not a prediction for any other matter, and nothing here is legal advice.
