SLINEY: I reviewed with you as to session number one what the ground rules are. I'm not going to go through that again. I don't think that's necessary. I do think we need to have a role call for session number two. This is in regard to attorney/client private session in the case of Neil Maiorino vs. The Town of Highland Beach. Doris, would you call the roll? MS. TRINLEY: Commissioner Scala-Pistone? COMMISSIONER SCALA -PISTONS: Here. MS. TRINLEY: Commissioner Zwick? COMMISSIONER ZWICK: Here. MS. TRINLEY: Commissioner Newill? COMMISSIONER NEWILL: Present. MS. TRINLEY: Vice Mayor Asselta? VICE MAYOR ASSELTA: Here. MS. TRINLEY: Mayor Hagelman? MAYOR HAGELMAN: MR. SLINEY: I would estimate that this session will last a half hour perhaps, maybe a little more. And the attendees are the town commission members and town manager, Mr. Roberts, myself and Mr. Corman. I think we're ready to go into the private session now. I would suggest we do the same thing we did Klein, Bury, Reif, Applebaum, & Associates A U.S. Legal Support Company 2 • 2 3 4 5 6 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 before, have Mr. Roberts kind of set the scene and give the status of the case. MR. ROBERTS: Commissioners and Mr. Mayor, this is the claim filed by Neil Maiorino against the Town of Highland Beach, Glen Goss in his official capacity as chief of police and individually, Sergeant Mitchell Rieger individually. This law was filed around October -- let's see, October 20, 2006. The attorney representing the plaintiff in this case, who is a police officer in the Town of Highland Beach Police Department is Mr. Willie Jones. In the complaint, much like the others that he has filed, the complaint seeks relief for a violation of the Florida Constitution and claims against the individuals, whom I also represent, Chief Goss and Sergeant Rieger for libel and slander, slander per se and libel per se. In essence, the claim against the town involves a dispute, again claiming that what has occurred stigmatizes him, interferes with his liberty interest, and implicitly labels the plaintiff as a sick leave abuser and liar. It goes forward with, however, on the factual allegations. It deals with his selection, or in the real matter, his nonselection to the position of sergeant in the Klein, Bury, Reif, Applebaum, & Associates A U.S. Legal Support Company 3 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 • police department. From our investigation of this complaint, what has occurred is that Mr. Maiorino is an officer with the police department. He put in and took the sergeant's test and completed the application. There were three sergeant positions or four sergeant positions? MR. SUGERMAN: Three available. MR. ROBERTS: Three available positions, and there were four people that applied? Anyway. MR. SUGERMAN: There may have been six. MR. ROBERTS: Six that applied, the tests were taken, the people were rated, and the chief of police is the person who recommends who gets appointed and then the town manager appoints them, as being the person that hires and fires. Two individuals were selected, and the third position was open, and the chief of police determined that he wanted to, on August 28th of 2006, that he wanted to select and recruit someone for that position outside of the department, in essence saying I'm not going to promote Maiorino to that position. After that occurred, that decision was reached on September 20, 2006, Maiorino filed a union grievance, which he is entitled to do under the Klein, Bury, Reif, Applebaum, & Associates A U.S. Legal Support Company I • 2 3 4 5 6 8 9 10 11 12 • 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 r� union contract. He subsequently filed another grievance on September 27, 2006, and that grievance follows, again as we've just discussed before, follows a proceeding of what you do, and it goes first to the town -- MR. SUGERMAN: Police chief. MR. ROBERTS: Police chief, and the police chief says no, I'm sticking with what I'm doing. Then it goes to the town manager. And if there is not an effective resolution of that, then there is the selection of an arbitrator. On October 20, 2006 the grievance was denied by the town manager. On October 27, 2006 -- well, stepping back, October 20, 2006 the grievance was denied by the town manager. Well, that just happens to be the date the lawsuit was filed, okay. So if you want to know why the lawsuit was filed, now you know. It's because the town manager says no, I'm going to uphold the chief's decision. On October 27, 2006, a week after the lawsuit is prepared, the union requests arbitration of the decision on behalf of the member, Mr. Maiorino. The process is ongoing to select an arbitrator, and the arbitrator will then hold a hearing on this decision. Now, what is the basis? In the Klein, Bury, Reif, Applebaum, & Associates A U.S. Legal Support Company V • • �J 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 agreement -- actually, we even have, and I don't know that this is confidential, frankly, the union arbitration. MR. SUGERMAN: It is not. In my opinion it's not. MR. ROBERTS: The union takes the position, and interesting reading from the grievance filed by the union representative on or about September 27th. It was received October 12th. It grieves the fact that Officer Maiorino has not been promoted to the position, and that the town has, as of September 27, 2006 posted on its Web site a position of sergeant. The union agreement provides in article ten nothing in this agreement shall prohibit the town from hiring an outside applicant for any position if in the sole discretion of the hiring authority no employee applicant possesses the necessary qualifications, skills and experience for the position. All selection decisions made under this article shall be made at the sole discretion of management, the sole discretion of management. Management may, in its sole discretion, consider criteria such as length of service within the department, years of law enforcement, past commendations and/or reprimands, Klein, Bury, Reif, Applebaum, & Associates A U.S. Legal Support Company I F- 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 r � U 7 past successful supervisory experience in the department or elsewhere, and vision for the future of the department when making promotional decisions. That provision says that the town management, being the chief and the town manager, have the sole discretion in determining who should be promoted. It doesn't say the highest guy on the list. It doesn't say the longest guy here. It says they have the discretion to decide who the best candidate is. And if they decide that Mr. Maiorino' is not the best candidate, they have the position. Now, the union takes the position that what I've just read to you says if my guy has been here the longest and has the highest score, he gets promoted. It's not what the provision says. It's written right in their grievance exactly what it says right out of the contract. So where are we? Well, one, this is another lawsuit that is filed to try to hinder, slam and impact the procedure that's already in place. The procedure that's already in place is the union contract grievance. If you go to an arbitrator, each side will be represented by counsel, each side will present their positions, the arbitrator will make a Klein, Bury, Reif, Applebaum, & Associates A U.S. Legal Support Company • 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 decision, and under the contract, unless there's some very unusual situation that occurs that rarely happens, such as somebody being biased and having some interest not disclosed, that arbitrator's decision is final, okay. That's why you have it, as I said before, that's why you have a union contract. One of the things that they give up for the benefits that they have is the right to go to court over this, the right to file lawsuits over this because this is an administrative proceeding. The town agrees to it, the union agrees to it. Nowhere in that contract does it say oh, if I don't like what the arbitrator says that I get to file a lawsuit. What Mr. Maiorino has done by filing this lawsuit has violated essentially the contract. Now, is there a remedy for that? Probably not because the courts say hey, your remedy is that we'll dismiss the lawsuit. Now, I can't get it dismissed now again because, one, a motion to dismiss has been filed because, one, it doesn't state a claim; two, he really is complaining about things that are covered by arbitration, but under the procedures that are available under Florida law, what you do is if the court doesn't dismiss it like that, you respond to Klein, Bury, Reif, Applebaum, & Associates A U.S. Legal Support Company • 2 3 4 5 6 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 it, you bring up the fact by an evidentiary fact that in fact there is a union contract, and that the proceeding is ongoing. Whether the proceeding is ongoing or not, that's his sole remedy, and that's what the contract says, and once the court sees the contract, they're done. It's over, okay. Maiorino's remedy for promotion is governed by this contract. This contract gives the town manager and the chief the sole discretion in that decision. Now, what has gone into that decision? Well, I don't know what's going into the decision because that was a decision by the manager, but that will come out in the proceeding. That will be apart of the arbitration, but I can tell you that having been provided records, one of the reasons is that Mr. Maiorino has been the subject of no less than four Internal Affairs investigations while with the Town of Highland Beach, one in December of '99, one in June of 2002, one in December of 2002, one in April of 2003, and one in April of 2005. MAYOR HAGELMAN: Were they all dismissed? MR. ROBERTS: No. In the one of December of 2002 there were eight charges, four were sustained. He received a five-day suspense. In the one of June of 2002, it was sustained that he had conduct Klein, Bury, Reif, Applebaum, & Associates A U.S. Legal Support Company I • 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 r� U 10 unbecoming an officer and made derogatory remarks. In April of 2003 he was found to have violated radio protocol and got a counselling memo, which is essentially a discipline, but it's not an internal affairs investigation. In the one in April of 2005 he was charged with the use of excessive force and conduct unbecoming, and the excessive force was unfounded, but the conduct unbecoming was not sustained. When you deal with Internal Affairs investigations, there's a protocol of what happens. One is the first thing is exonerated. That means the investigation says it didn't happen. The next thing is it's unfounded. That is a little bit less than that. It says we can't prove it, so we're not going to do anything. The next thing is not sustained. That's kind of yeah, it's there, but we really can't fully prove it, and then there's sustained, you did it. So a lot of it depends upon what the finding is. It's just not you're guilty, you're not guilt because a lot of these things again reflect the rights of the individual officer. But whether it's sustained or not, depending upon the ruling, it is something that then be considered in that decision in the contract. Investigations Klein, Bury, Reif, Applebaum, & Associates A U.S. Legal Support Company • 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 LJ 11 is one thing to be considered. And when you look at this record here, if I was sitting in that position, I would certainly take into consideration if you're looking to promote someone to a sergeant, what their past history has been. And if you have someone who doesn't necessarily agree with it and you look at the investigations, that's someone frankly that you really don't want to be in charge because they have that sort of record. That's one of the factors and decisions, but once again, that proceeding is ongoing, and those charges, and if the rationale behind the decision is something that can be brought up in the arbitrator's proceeding, whether the arbitrator considers that or not is another matter because the arbitrator is bound upon interpreting what the union contract is. This case is not going to decide that proceeding. There's nothing in here which can stop that proceeding, nothing in here which can in a direct fashion impact the proceeding, and neither can this Commission, frankly, either, because the Commission can't stop the proceeding from proceeding as well if it's elected, and it has been elected. So that proceeding, the arbitration is going to decide the issue. So candidly, as Vice Klein, Bury, Reif, Applebaum, & Associates A U.S. Legal Support Company • 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 12 Mayor Asselta said, there's really nothing to decide here. Unless you want to waive the contract or provisions here and say oh, we're just going to change the town manager's decision. Now, if you want to do that, then as I said before, you need to look at what the charter provides as to whether you can change the town manager's decision that has already been made that is now subject to the union grievance. COMMISSIONER NEWILL: For the record, I didn't hear the four for 2000. You started, you said 2000, then you went to the next year and gave us individually what they were, but you didn't give us -- MR. ROBERTS: In 2002 there were eight charges and four were sustained, and I didn't specify what any of them were, although I could find them out if you want. COMMISSIONER NEWILL: If you're going to point them out for the other years, I think it's pertinent what those were. COMMISSIONER SCALA -PISTONS: May I ask how long our officer has been in our town working for us? MR. SUGERMAN: I don't recall off the top of Klein, Bury, Reif, Applebaum, & Associates A U.S. Legal Support Company • 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 13 my head. I'm sorry. COMMISSIONER ZWICK: May I ask our attorneys, while Mr. Roberts is busy. In part of the charges, I don't know if this can come out. If we're not allowed to know, please say so. The charge is slander per se and libel per se. Now, if I remember correctly in journalism, libel was for written, slander was for spoken. So he has produced evidence of both written and oral defamation or something like that? Is that part of his case? MR. CORMAN: He hasn't produced evidence yet. He's alleged that there have been written and verbal communications about him that are false and ruined his reputation. COMMISSIONER ZWICK: That's why he used both terms? MR. CORMAN: Right. MR. ROBERTS: The investigation on December 9, 2002 was conducted, and the -- through the offices of Chief Cervasio at the time, and on December 9, 2002 Town Manager Saag wrote a report and found in conclusion that charge one was conduct unbecoming. It was sustained. Charge two, courteous behavior set aside. Charge three, failure to comply with a Klein, Bury, Reif, Applebaum, & Associates A U.S. Legal Support Company • 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 • 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 14 lawful order, set aside. Charge four, failure to comply with the order of a supervisor, set aside. Charge five, act which endangers, sustained. Charge six, failure to obey work-related order set aside. Charge seven, conduct unbecoming, sustained. Charge eight, failure to comply with department rules, sustained as a result of charge B-1, sustained. There was a ten-day suspension without pay recommended by the chief, but the town manager imposed a five-day suspension without pay related to those charges that have been sustained. The remaining five days is a proposed suspension not imposed. MAYOR HAGELMAN: So he was fined for five days; is that correct. MR. ROBERTS: Correct. Also, the manager said given that this is your third disciplinary action related to conduct unbecoming an officer of the town, and that you have shown poor judgment in each of these instances, I am officially cautioning you against committing any future substantiated violations of the police department or town rules or regulations. Any future substantiated violations will be grounds for termination of your employment with the town. That was in December of Klein, Bury, Reif, Applebaum, & Associates A U.S. Legal Support Company 0 r � 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 15 2002. VICE MAYOR ASSELTA: While you have that, who was the complainant against the police officer? I know you said Cervasio did the finding, but who was the complainant? Who filed the complaints against him? MR. ROBERTS: Charge against you outlined stems from an April 24, 2002 telephone conversation you had with Sergeant Rieger's wife, Denise. VICE MAYOR ASSELTA: You don't have to say anymore. COMMISSIONER SCALA-PISTONE: I agree. VICE MAYOR ASSELTA: There's a lot of history that you did not bring out in that little summary that most of us do know. MR. ROBERTS: That was the decision of the town manager at the time. VICE MAYOR ASSELTA: And the town manager left under circumstances that I will question. COMMISSIONER SCALA-PISTONE: May I ask, in this performance, I guess it's called our confessional, the opportunities for access for getting -- for becoming promoted, isn't there a specific requirement at least two years that the individual has to be a member of our police force Klein, Bury, Reif, Applebaum, & Associates A U.S. Legal Support Company r� 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 • 16 for at least two years? I have it right in front of me. MR. SUGERMAN: That's correct. COMMISSIONER SCALA-PISTONE: So this young man, whoever, has not been on our police for two years. MR. SUGERMAN: No. I think Officer Maiorino has been on for a substantial number of years. COMMISSIONER SCALA -PISTONS: I'm not talking about Officer Maiorino. I'm talking about -- didn't we just hear that Chief Goss was going to hire another human and that he is going to hire someone that has not been working with our town for at least two years, and these are our requirements? MR. SUGERMAN: Chief Goss does not do the hiring. The town manager does the hiring. COMMISSIONER SCALA-PISTONE: Then I'm asking that question to you, Dale. MR. SUGERMAN: Then I'll answer it. Chief Goss recommends, the town manager hires. There is nothing in our rules and regulations that prohibits our hiring from the outside. Mr. Roberts already read the rule on that. The rule you're referring to is the rule of promotion. COMMISSIONER SCALA-PISTONE: Isn't this a Klein, Bury, Reif, Applebaum, & Associates A U.S. Legal Support Company • 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 r -I L J 17 promotional position? MR. SUGERMAN: It is not. MAYOR HAGELMAN: In other words, you're saying, Town Manager, that within your rights you could bring in a sergeant from the outside to work in our department here? MR. SUGERMAN: Actually, what I'm suggesting is it says so in the contract between FOP and the Town of Highland Beach. I would just be acting under the terms and provisions of the collective bargaining agreement. Mr. Roberts has already covered that. MR. ROBERTS: The other thing, to address what you said, article ten of the contract entitled Promotional Opportunity, and it says it is the policy of the town to consider its own employees for promotional opportunities in employment prior to considering outside applicants. COMMISSIONER SCALA-PISTONE: Exactly. MR. ROBERTS: And if you're going to consider town employees, you can only consider those who have been there at least two years with the department. COMMISSIONER SCALA-PISTONE: Exactly. MR. ROBERTS: That doesn't mean, obviously it Klein, Bury, Reif, Applebaum, & Associates A U.S. Legal Support Company • • • 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 would be impossible to hire someone from the outside unless they had two years experience because once they're hired, then they'd have two years until they get promoted. The distinction here is you have a position to fill, that being one of sergeant. You have two options. One, the contract says you have to first consider persons who are in the department, and those persons you consider have to be here two years, and have to go through this process. However, that does not preclude you from, after you've considered that, to hire someone from the outside if you deem in your sole discretion that the persons who you have considered are not well qualified for that position. MR. SUGERMAN: Excuse me, Mr. Roberts. If the town manager decides in his sole discretion, not the Town Commission. MR. ROBERTS: Sure. The town manager in his sole discretion. Management decides in its sole discretion that those persons within that they have considered first are not the best persons for that position, then the town manager has the ability to hire someone from outside to fill that position, and that's essentially what is being done in this Klein, Bury, Reif, Applebaum, & Associates A U.S. Legal Support Company • 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 19 case. Mr. Maiorino has been considered, and he has not been considered favorably to fill that position, so therefore the town manager has decided to go outside -- MR. SUGERMAN: Has not decided. MR. ROBERTS: Oh, has not. MR. SUGERMAN: Is considering. MR. ROBERTS: Considering. COMMISSIONER SCALA-PISTONE: Considering going! outside. MAYOR HAGELMAN: Town Manager, you and I have had this discussion before, and I did make mention that I would bring it up, and at that time you were interviewing or considering interviewing people from the outside be brought in for a sergeant's position in the Town of Highland Beach. And I have stressed to you, and I have made the statement I thought that would be unwise to do because of what it would do to the personnel on the police department here. And you have said to me well, this is in my discretion, and I do not disagree with that. It is within your discretion. But in so doing, Town Manager, the disruption that it might cause in this department I think would be something worthy to be considered. And you had Klein, Bury, Reif, Applebaum, & Associates A U.S. Legal Support Company 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 20 made mention well, it will only take a number of two or three people that would object to it or find fault with it, and I absolutely disagree with that. I mean, I've worked on that side of the fence, and if I know that I would be overstepped or overlooked because for whatever given reason that the town manager felt I wasn't capable of doing it and they brought someone else in, I would be really upset about it. COMMISSIONER SCALA-PISTONE: The morale. MAYOR HAGELMAN: The morale. It's killing -- it's hurting our department. We see things like that happening. We have people leaving here like I've never seen leave before, and I'm very discouraged with it, to be perfectly honest with you. If this was a decision that was made by the chief and yourself, I have to be perfectly honest with you, I'm not pleased with it at all. COMMISSIONER NEWILL: I think also community reaction. COMMISSIONER SCALA-PISTONE: In addition, we were all at the bargaining meeting prior to ratifying the contract. Chief Goss is new on this, you know, in our town, and we questioned him quite specifically about the fact that would he continue Klein, Bury, Reif, Applebaum, & Associates A U.S. Legal Support Company • 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 21 to use or make an effort to use those police officers that, you know, have been part of our police community for so many years. And by the way, that was suggested at one point with the attorney, our attorney, our collective bargaining attorney who came and said it is very important that you understand that they don't trust that the police officers, you know, in the union do not trust, there's not a trust there, and we have to develop a trust again. And I remember him saying that the reason, you know, that we should use is by keeping our promises and keeping our thought patterns so that, you know, these other officers could be chosen for, you know, this position, and it had to do with these sergeant positions. MR. SUGERMAN: Mr. Mayor, I'd like to follow up on your comment, and I agree with you, you have made it very clear to me in no uncertain terms, as have other members of the Commission, that if, as town manager, I determine to invoke my right and responsibility under the bargaining agreement and do hire somebody from the outside for the position of sergeant, it will most likely cost me my job as town manager. You have made that clear to me, as have others, and I understand that.

If that happened, Town Manager, somebody acted out of their authority on this board, I'm telling you that right now. That's sickening to hear that. MR. SUGERMAN: I'm confirming the conversation that the Mayor and I have had on this. MAYOR HAGELMAN: That conversation with you is the people in our town would be up in arms about what's taking place in our town, and they might, yes, they might go ahead and say look, we'd better look into this matter. And if it comes down to the point, no, do I want to see you go? No way. We've had a good relationship. But on the other hand, I have the town's interest as does everybody else. When you go ahead and you appoint somebody from the outside, saying to this town there's nobody on our police department that's qualified to take the position of sergeant, this is absolutely wrong, and I cannot justify that at all. COMMISSIONER NEWILL: Town Manager, for the second time in my two-year term here, I will ask you the question, will you please substantiate that I was not one of the commissioners that said that to you?

VICE MAYOR ASSELTA: Let me get back to the facts here. Rusty, when you presented the position of the lawsuit and everything else, until Commissioner Scala-Pistone asked you about a subject, is the first time you went back and referred to article ten or section ten, whatever it's called. What's it called? Klein, Bury, Reif, Applebaum, & Associates A U.S. Legal Support Company • 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 • 24 MR. ROBERTS: Article ten. VICE MAYOR ASSELTA: Article ten. Now, my recollection of article ten, it was read and it was read, I believe, correctly that -- would you read that again for us? I'm concerned as to why you left that out at the beginning. Read it again. MR. ROBERTS: What I read first was from the union grievance, which is probably not totally word-for-word accurate, okay. VICE MAYOR ASSELTA: Read that part of article ten. MR. ROBERTS: The contract, the actual written contract. You want to read, article ten, promotional opportunity. It is the policy of the town to consider its own employees for promotional opportunities in employment prior to considering outside applicants. Paragraph two. No employee shall be eligible to sit for a promotional examination unless the employee has completed two years of service with the Highland Beach Police Department. Then going over to paragraph five, in the interim there's a score sheet for employment. Paragraph five, the town manager, following a recommendation from the police chief, will appoint from the promotional list. The promotional list is Klein, Bury, Reif, Applebaum, & Associates A U.S. Legal Support Company • 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1.0 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 25 good for two years. Paragraph six. Nothing in this agreement shall prohibit the town from hiring an outside applicant for any position if in the sole discretion of the hiring authority no employee applicant possesses the necessary qualifications, credentials, skills and experience for the position. All selections -- decision made under this article shall be made at the sole discretion of management. Management may, in the sole discretion, consider criteria such as length of service within the department, years in law enforcement, past commendation and/or reprimands, past successful supervisory experience in the department or elsewhere, and vision for the future of the department when making a promotional decision. VICE MAYOR ASSELTA: Thank you. Now, with that also I did not hear about the qualifications of Officer Maiorino. My understanding is -- and the process that was involved. My understanding was that he received the highest score of all applicants from the Town of Highland Beach Police Officers. I also understand that he was examined. As a result of it, he passed that phase, and then was many examined by six officers? Klein, Bury, Reif, Applebaum, & Associates A U.S. Legal Support Company • • 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 MR. SUGERMAN: Five officers in an oral interview. VICE MAYOR ASSELTA: Five officers. I don't know if they were chiefs. I don't know their rank, but I believe they were all officers, lieutenant or higher from other departments -- MR. SUGERMAN: Sergeants. VICE MAYOR ASSELTA: -- to advise on the selection. The combined score from the advisory board of the other officers, which took into consideration everything that is being mentioned, still found Officer Maiorino had the highest score. Now, when you say -- that wasn't mentioned. Now, here's the thing. We will look inside. If you do not find anyone who has the necessary qualifications or skills. Obviously five officers from other departments found that skills existed to give him such a high score. He scored high enough on the written exam to demonstrate that he did have the skills. When we say an arbitrator, we have the right to decide, I don't deny that, and I discussed this on a number of occasions with the town manager, and I still don't know which way he's going to go and what's going to happen. And I've been asked my own Klein, Bury, Reif, Applebaum, & Associates A U.S. Legal Support Company • 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 • 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 U 27 opinion of this particular officer, and I'll be frank, I said I probably would not have promoted him. But I'm just taking the advocate's position of what an arbitrator would look at and then what's in the record. And then when you say we go to the record, and I had a reason for asking you where did the complaints come from because if you look back at those years, 2002, 2003 and 2004, you'll find quite a number of reprimands being filed against the entire police department by Sergeant Rieger or Lieutenant -- I forget his name now. MAYOR HAGELMAN: Holland. VICE MAYOR ASSELTA: Yeah, Holland, and we had the chief. Now, let's be realistic in that we had a chief that was chief in name only, really a totally ineffective chief. The department was run by Saag through Holland and Rieger. We also found out, I found out, and they've been brushed aside, a number of false reports being filed against police officers by the management, the sergeant and the lieutenant. We also had examples of police officers having their reports rewritten by the lieutenant, which is illegal. We had so many things going on back in that period of time that when you use that as a cite for reprimanding a Klein, Bury, Reif, Applebaum, & Associates A U.S. Legal Support Company • 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 r� E police officer, that has to be taken in the total context of what was happening in that period of time. I would hope that when Maiorino has his arbitration that he'll have somebody skillful enough to bring out everything and present his whole picture because -- and the reason I said I didn't think he should be promoted because I thought there were other people here, and unfortunately one has taken retirement, another one wouldn't take the test, which kind of bothered me and shows something else is in existence. I did make a suggestion, not a mandatory thing, to the chief that I would hold off any promotion, hold it open. There's no crisis that we need to fill the sergeant's shot, and go ahead and hold an exam next year and then see who comes up on the list so we don't have to go outside the town. My concern is that paragraph. I know in sole discretion. I also know sole discretion comes into play only if you do not find anyone who does not possess the basis skills that are there, and that is a question that is open. And knowing the background and knowing how it could be presented, I also made this known to the town manager if I was his lawyer I damn well Klein, Bury, Reif, Applebaum, & Associates A U.S. Legal Support Company r� 2 3 4 5 6 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 F- -1 1_J M would prevail on it. But I'm just putting that out for consideration. MR. ROBERTS: And that's what will be possibly decided in the arbitration proceeding, but it won't be decided in this lawsuit. VICE MAYOR ASSELTA: I'm aware of that. But I thought that should have been brought out. You know, we really wanted to hear both sides and, you know, until I brought it out we didn't hear both sides, and that's a concern to me. MR. ROBERTS: Well, I appreciate that, but that won't necessarily be part of this lawsuit because it's covered by, as you indicated, the arbitration. VICE MAYOR ASSELTA: No, I'm aware where we're going. We've got to go to the arbitration, and I also believe that this hearing was not necessary, or this meeting was not necessary, so be it. We discussed it. There's really nothing we can do. But the concerns of fairness to the people in the town are of great concern because I have to say that the integrity of our police department, you know, is tested on a regular basis, and you have a lot of people in this town that know a lot of the police officers and know what they've done. And as Klein, Bury, Reif, Applebaum, & Associates A U.S. Legal Support Company • 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 • 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 U 30 I said, we can't tell the town manager what to do, and I wouldn't attempt to, but hopefully he takes everything into consideration and comes up with any conclusion he comes up with. I'm not threatening you in any way. I just want to make that clear. MR. CORMAN: Just a point of law, and I don't know if Mr. Jones is going to ultimately properly frame this action. Ironically, to the extent that Maiorino's claiming that he's been discriminated against on the basis of his age, the one action where he needed to file an EEOC complaint, he has not done so. He has filed EEOC complaints in two actions where they're not really proper. This case would require an EEOC complaint. One has not yet been filed. If I was his attorney, what my argument would be in arbitration is that independent of the contract, the town remains subject of the federal and state laws prohibiting discrimination on the basis of age, and I would assert that I was passed over because of my age, that would then put the burden on the town, assuming that the arbitrator found that that's properly been alleged, it would put the burden on the town to come up with a legitimate business reason for why he was passed Klein, Bury, Reif, Applebaum, & Associates A U.S. Legal Support Company • r1 U 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 31 over other than his age. And to the extent that the town is relying on reprimands that are not well-founded, or at least one of the commissioners believes was not well-founded, that could undermine an argument that there was a legitimate business reason. The town manager has the right to rely on the materials that he finds in the personnel file. So from a legal perspective, the town may well have a good defense, regardless of whether or not those prior reprimands are meritorious or not because he has a right to rely on what he finds in the personnel files. VICE MAYOR ASSELTA: Well taken. I have one question. Before you came here, Dale, and before this chief, we had another police chief here, and we had another mayor. It wasn't this mayor. And we didn't have an appointed town manager, we had an acting town manager. And at that time I do know that Mayor Reid wanted Sergeant Rieger fired, terminated. I know that. He went and other people went to the chief, what was her name? Chief Pander. Lu, and Lu said I can't do anything because all the letters, all the complaints that were filed against him are more than three years old and can't be considered. Klein, Bury, Reif, Applebaum, & Associates A U.S. Legal Support Company 2 3 4 5 6 8 9 10 11 12 • 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 32 Now, I don't know if that's true or not, but if that's the case, all these complaints appear to be more than three years old and should not be considered. And I just bring that up without having any real knowledge. MAYOR HAGELMAN: But that's part of his personnel file. VICE MAYOR ASSELTA: But they said after so many years it cannot be used against you. MAYOR HAGELMAN: Do you know that particular case? MR. ROBERTS: I think what you're talking about is you can't initiate a disciplinary proceeding against someone after a certain period of time. I think that probably is tied in with the policeman's bill of rights. It's like a statute of limitations for a crime. You commit a crime this year. You can't be charged with it four years later because it tolled, but that's different from the fact in making a decision about promotion. You're not disciplining someone in that instance. What you're considering is whether that person is the best qualified to be in a supervisory position on your management team in your department, and you can consider all facets of the thing. You can Klein, Bury, Reif, Applebaum, & Associates A U.S. Legal Support Company • • • 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 33 consider, like it says in the collective bargaining agreement, you can consider his past supervisory experience. You can look back at what he's done in other departments. I think Maiorino has past police experience. VICE MAYOR ASSELTA: He was a former chief and a former sergeant. MR. ROBERTS: In another department. He has retired from those departments, too. So you can consider that, too. Similarly, if I was in that position and in considering that experience, I'd also consider what his disciplinary record is from his past experience, too. All of that is information that you can consider because you're not disciplining the person. You're not taking action against him. You're deciding whether he should be elevated, and there's a difference between the two. You can consider his grades in high school in doing that, too. You can consider all his past relevant experience because you're not hurting him. You're only trying to help him, but in doing so you have to consider your interests as well.

MR. ROBERTS: Well, as I said to Commissioner Newill, you can put anything you want in that complaint when you put it in there. If he wants to bring that out, he can do that in the arbitration proceeding. Typically arbitration proceedings are somewhat informal with the rules of law tenets, although I've never conducted one. You're getting a professional arbitrator generally, and they set their own rules, regulations and guidelines, and essentially they will listen to anything that somebody wants to say. You know, whether that is involved too, that's the sort of things you can bring out in arbitration. MR. CORMAN: The standard line in arbitrations are I'll let the evidence in and I'll accord it the weigh I think it's entitled. MR. ROBERTS: Right. They're not going to prevent him from saying that stuff. Whether that makes a difference or not is another story, whether it means anything to the proceedings or not. MAYOR HAGELMAN: So at this point we're just waiting now for the arbitrator to make a decision? MR. ROBERTS: Well, that proceeding has just been initiated. I'm not so sure that an arbitrator Klein, Bury, Reif, Applebaum, & Associates A U.S. Legal Support Company • • 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 35 has even been selected. MR. SUGERMAN: Correct. MR. ROBERTS: You've got to select one, and then you've got to set a hearing. MR. CORMAN: It's more than just that. He filed a lawsuit that Mr. Roberts needs to deal with. MR. ROBERTS: We're dealing with the lawsuit, but as I said before at the outset, this lawsuit is not going to impact or change that proceeding from going forward. It's going to go forward unless, of course, Mr. Maiorino decides to dismiss it. But if he dismissed it, that still doesn't change anything because that's his remedy. That's his only remedy. The lawsuit is not his remedy. MAYOR HAGELMAN: Any other questions? VICE MAYOR ASSELTA: One question, yeah. So what's your procedure on the lawsuit? Are you going to move -- MR. ROBERTS: I've already moved to dismiss it. VICE MAYOR ASSELTA: On all the grounds? MR. ROBERTS: All the grounds. VICE MAYOR ASSELTA: All right. MR.

MR. SUGERMAN: If I can ask, it's likely some of these things may take six to nine months, 12 months to play out in the lawsuits. MAYOR HAGELMAN: So then at this particular point, are we going to consider putting anybody in that position until the lawsuit is settled or what? MR. SUGERMAN: With all due represent, Mayor, the Commission does not put people in that position. MAYOR HAGELMAN: In other words, you could rule to have someone in there yourself? MR. SUGERMAN: I will follow the terms and conditions of the collective bargaining agreement.
