Change process for employee disciplinary hearings involving department heads
In Plain English
The city currently uses the Skelly process to give employees facing discipline a chance to respond before action is taken. The existing rules allow department heads to serve as hearing officers in these cases. If approved, the city changes who can conduct these hearings and how outside attorneys are hired for complex cases.
