The Aviation Department requests Council to approve a motion to extend the unpaid leave of absence of Martha Gonzalez, Semi-Skilled Laborer, Employee #125092, beginning June 19, 2016 through August 29, 2016.
Ms. Gonzalez has a medical condition which prevented her return to duty since October 02, 2015. Ms. Gonzalez provided the department with a resume so that a job search could be conducted, but it was unsuccessful. On August 16, 2016, the department recommended that Ms. Gonzalez be medically separated. On August 30, 2016 the Civil Service Commission ruled in favor of the department and Ms. Gonzalez’s medical separation was effective August 30, 2016.
Ms. Gonzalez was approved for the Municipal Employee’s Civil Service Commission for unpaid leave of absence through June 18, 2016. In accordance with Code of Ordinances 14-172, any further leaves of absences must be approved by the City Council. Therefore, the department requests City Council approve the extended unpaid leave of absence for Ms. Gonzalez from June 19, 2016 through August 29, 2016.
