The decision
BackgroundThe appeal of Alexis Fernandez, Supervising Mechanic, Golf Facilities, Passaic County, Department of Parks and Recreation, removal, effective September 27, 2024, on charges, was heard by Administrative Law Judge Kelly J. Kirk (ALJ), who rendered her initial decision on September 25, 2025. No exceptions were filed.
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 November 5, 2025, adopted the ALJ’s Findings of Facts and Conclusions of Law and her recommendation to uphold the removal.
ORDER
The Civil Service Commission finds that the action of the appointing authority in removing the appellant was justified. The Commission therefore upholds that action and dismisses the appeal of Alexis Fernandez.
ClosingThis is the final administrative determination in this matter. Any further review should be pursued in a judicial forum.
