behavior of Brown. The Civil Service Commission determined the information presented and the Appellant's behavior was
not sufficient to uphold the City's recommendation for termination. The appeal of termination by Thomas A. Brown is
granted. Instead, the Commission finds the appropriate discipline to be a six (6) month suspension without pay

Commissioner Villa
