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 Juarez Hill, Code Enforcement Officer, City of Newark, Department of Neighborhood and Recreational Services, removal effective January 2, 2015, on charges, was heard by Administrative Law Judge Caridad F. Rigo, who rendered her initial decision on December 18, 2018.
AnalysisHaving considered the record and the Administrative Law Judge’s initial decisions, and having made an independent evaluation of the record, including viewing the video in this matter at the original meeting of August 1, 2018, as well as reviewing the exceptions and replies filed by the parties to both the original and remand initial decisions, the Civil Service Commission (Commission), at its meeting of February 6, 2019, accepted and adopted the Findings of Fact and Conclusion as contained in the attached Administrative Law Judge’s initial decisions.
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 Juarez Hill.
ClosingThis is the final administrative determination in this matter. Any further review should be pursued in a judicial forum.
