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 appeals of James Bair, Timothy Martin and Eric Mason, Boiler Operators with the City of Atlantic City, of the good faith of their layoffs effective June 26, 2015, were heard by Administrative Law Judge Elaine B. Frick, who rendered her initial decision on April 15, 2020. 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 Civil Service Commission, at its meeting on June 3, 2020, 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 laying off the appellants was justified. The Commission therefore affirms that action and dismisses the appeals of James Bair, Timothy Martin and Eric Mason.
ClosingThis is the final administrative determination in this matter. Any further review should be pursued in a judicial forum.
