The Aviation Department requests Council to approve a motion to extend the unpaid leave of absence of Robert Fierro, Airport Operations Assistant, Employee #152618, beginning August 04, 2016 through October 10, 2016.
Mr. Fierro has a medical condition which prevented his return to duty since June 30, 2015. Mr. Fierro provided the department with a resume so that a job search could be conducted, but it was unsuccessful. On September 28, 2016, the department recommended that Mr. Fierro be medically separated. On October 11, 2016 the Civil Service Commission ruled in favor of the department and Mr. Fierro’s medical separation was effective October 11, 2016.
Mr. Fierro was approved for the Municipal Employee’s Civil Service Commission for unpaid leave of absence through August 03, 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 Mr. Fierro from August 04, 2016 through October 10, 2016.
