Suspension of Firefighter John Mummert: Mayor Brainard acknowledged that Mr. Mummert
was present and asked his attorney, Bruce Boje of Richards, Boje, Picketing, Bermer and Becker,
to explain the current standing of Mr. Mummert's case. Mr. Boje stated the criminal charges
against Mr. Mummert were resolved a Week ago when Mr. Mummert had appeared in court and
plead guilty to Operating While IntoxiCated. Mr. Boje stated the Board had a copy of the plea
agreement and sentencing order (Exhibit A), which required Mr. Mummert to make restitution to
Carla Johnson, the woman he struck, for damage to her vehicle and for wages lost and medical
expenses incurred. Mr. Boje stated the Board had a copy of the first payment to Ms. Johnson for
her automobile repairs from Mr. Mummert's insurance company (Exhibit B). Mr. Boje stated
that Mr. Mummert had participated in a drug and alcohol education class through the City's
Employee Assistance Program at St. Vincent's Hospital (Exhibit C). Mr. Boje asked the board to
vote in favor of Fire Chief Douglas Callahan's recommendation on the issue.
Mayor Brainard stated he was pleased with the expeditious handling of this matter and asked
Chief Callahan for his recommendation.
Chief Callahan recommended Mr. Mummert be suspended for 30 days without pay with credit
for 30 days already served (July 28 - August 26), making Mr. Mummert eligible to return to
work immediately. Mayor Bralnard pointed out that if the board adopted Chief Callahan's
recommendation, it would be handling Mr. Mummert's suspension in the same manner as a
similar suspension was handled several years ago. Board Member Walker asked if Mr. Mummert
had worked since August 26. Chief Callahan stated he had not worked. Mayor Bralnard moved
to handle the suspension and reinstatement as recommended by Chief Callahan. Board Member
Burke seconded.
Board Members discussed how to handle paying Mr. Mummert from August 26 until today,
September 8. Board Member Walker called for the question. The board voted 3-0 to adopt Chief
Callahan's recommendation.
