BackgroundThe appeals of Thalia Tretsis, Sheriffs Officer, Middlesex County, Sheriffs Office, removals effective September 29, 2017 and November 14, 2017, on charges, were heard by Administrative Law Judge Sarah G. Crowley, who rendered her initial decision on March 12, 2020. Exceptions were filed on behalf of the appellant and a reply to exceptions was filed on behalf of the appointing authority.
AnalysisHaving considered the record and the ALJ’s initial decision, and having made an independent evaluation of the record, the Civil Service Commission (Commission), at its meeting on April 29, 2020, accepted and adopted the Findings of Fact and Conclusion as contained in the attached ALJ’s initial decision as well as her recommendation to modify the removals to a resignation in good standing.
ORDER
The Civil Service Commission finds that the action of the appointing authority in removing the appellant was justified. However, the Commission modifies the removal of Thalia Tretsis to a resignation in good standing.
ClosingThis is the final administrative determination in this matter. Any further review should be pursued in a judicial forum.
