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 Richard Frascati, Police Officer, Freehold Borough, Police Department, removal effective April 11, 2019, on charges, was heard by Administrative Law Judge Joseph A. Ascione (ALJ), who rendered his initial decision on September 16, 2021. Exceptions were filed on behalf of the appellant.
AnalysisHaving considered the record and the ALu’s initial decision, and having made an independent evaluation of the record, the Civil Service Commission, at its meeting of January 19, 2022, accepted and adopted the Findings of Fact and Conclusion as contained in the attached ALJ’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 Richard Frascati.
ClosingThis is the final administrative determination in this matter. Any further review should be pursued in a judicial forum.
