City Manager Malone advised the next item on the agenda is a public hearing for the Ms. Pat Turpin, Emergency Communications Division, Grievance Appeal. Mayor Shelton declared the public hearing open and called for Mr. David Hamilton, attorney for Pat Turpin to appear. Mr. Hamilton was not present. City Manager Malone advised that this matter involves a suspension of Ms. Pat Turpin who is a member of the Emergency Communications Division of the Paris Police Department. City Manager Malone read his memorandum to Pat Turpin as follows: Subject - Disciplinary Suspension Grievance Hearing I conducted your grievance appeal hearing on the 3rd day of November, and the 16th day of November, 1994, at which you were represented by your attorney, David Hamilton. I have reviewed the testimony of all witnesses and all written material pertaining to this issue. -- After reviewing the evidence and testimony, I am not persuaded to overturn Personnel Manager Gene Anderson's decision to uphold Chief Karl Louis' decision to suspend you for two weeks. My suggestion to you is to accept the fact that Pam Smith is a member of the Emergency Communications Division Team and that she carries her previous seniority in the department with her. You now have reached a point in your career with the City of Paris where you have two options: (1) Conform to the rules and regulations of the City of Paris, the Paris Police Department and the Emergency Communications Division or (2) Force the City of Paris to terminate your employment in the vent you conduct yourself in a manner which violates the Rules and Regulations of the City of Paris. This decision is yours alone and I hope that your decision is to continue your career with the City of Paris in a positive manner.
