3.A. Termination Appeal 
Discussion:
City Administrator Tom Ourada explained that when all employees are hired they go through a 6 month introductory training period. The City reserves the right to dismiss without cause if the employee's performance does not meet the minimum required standards. The City did give the option to Kevin Centamore to appeal the termination. After consultation with both of his supervisors, the feedback they provided was critical in making the termination decision. Centamore explained that he understood the issues that led to his termination and that safety was important for everyone around him and himself. The Personnel Committee members Tom Crisman, Ashley Newmyer, and Kyle Frans all agreed that safety is critical and can't take any chances and the termination stands.
