Board determines that such an extension is necessary or desirable and would not be prejudicial to the
person charged with the violation, the Board shall grant the extension. If the Board determines that the
investigation must be completed in a shorter period of time in order to avoid prejudice or irreparable
harm to the person charged with the violation, the Board shall order the Secretary to complete the

dismisses all or part of the complaint, he/she shall do so in writing, setting forth the facts and the
provisions of law upon which the dismissal is based, and provide copies of the written dismissal to the
complainant, to the person charged with the violation and to the Board. The complainant shall have the
right to appeal the decision of the Secretary to the Board, who may uphold, modify or reject the
Secretary's decision. To the extent the Secretary's decision is not upheld by the Board, a hearing will be
held before the Board on the remaining allegations contained in the complaint. If the complaint or any
portion thereof is so dismissed, the record pertaining to the dismissed charge(s) shall remain
confidential unless the person against whom the complaint was made requests disclosure, or as
otherwise required by applicable law or final court order.
(5) A hearing shall then be held thereon unless the complaint is resolved at a prehearing conference. A
prehearing conference may be held at the request of the Secretary, the complainant or the person
accused. Any proposed prehearing resolution of the complaint or of any portion thereof must be
approved by the Board, the complainant and the person accused, and must conform to the Board's
rules and applicable law. Absent such approval and conformance, the proposed prehearing resolution
shall be null and void.

ordinance has been violated, and setting forth its specific findings of fact and conclusions of law upon

be deemed necessary and proper by the Mayor, consistent with the City's personnel ordinances and
rules. The Mayor is not bound by the Board's determination and may conduct his/her own investigation
prior to imposing discipline on any officer or employee under his authority and/or control. A written
response outlining any action taken by the Mayor as a result of the recommendation of the Board shall
be provided to the Board by the Mayor within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of the Board's
written decision and recommendations. Notwithstanding the above, this Section shall not derogate from

Section shall be subject to judicial review as provided by applicable law.

Fifty Dollars ($50.00) nor more than Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00)for each month or portion thereof, beginning
