GENERAL MANAGER S REPORT The General Manager reported on the innovative efforts by the Department s Public Safety Bureau which recently completed production on a groundbreaking Virtual Reality LAPD recruitment video, which is considered the first VR recruitment tool to be used by any law enforcement agency. Using state-of-the-art 360-degree cameras on the ground and in the air the VR experience allows candidates to live the challenges of the job and the many career opportunities in the Los Angeles Police Department. The experience highlights several LAPD units including Air Support, Bomb Squad, K-9, Patrol and SWAT which emphasizes the Department s commitment to service to the diverse communities that make up Los Angeles. Created with the support and cooperation of the Mayor s Innovation Commission, the tool has been an immediate success with candidates and helped keep LAPD officer recruitment ahead of the competition. Los Angeles will hire more than 500 new officers this fiscal year keeping the Police Department at is authorized strength of 10,000 plus officers. Based on the interest level of the Commissioners, a time will be set aside on a future agenda to permit the Board Members to experience the technology for themselves. minutes 2

NON-APPEARANCE ITEMS UNFINISHED BUSINESS 8. APPEALS UNDER CHARTER SECTION 1016 a. Anthony P. LEE, Gardener Caretaker, Department of Recreation and Parks. Discharge effective February 20, 2018. Report and recommendations of the Board s Hearing Examiner Steven Sauer following the conduct of a hearing held on June 27, 2018 into the subject appeal of Mr. Lee. The Hearing Examiner recommends that the Board: A. FIND that the Skelly due process requirements were NOT met 1) SUSTAIN the cause of action of gross excessive unexcused absenteeism; B. FIND that, in light of the Department s failure to properly manage and investigate the ongoing absence of the Appellant, that discharge would be an ABUSE OF DISCRETION. A penalty is clearly warranted based on the Appellant s actions, or inactions, therefore the Department is urged to substitute a penalty less than discharge up to and including a time served suspension, returning the Appellant to his employment. C. MAKE A DETERMINATION to adopt the findings and conclusions in the Hearing Examiner s report as its own. File No. 54982 COMMISSION ACTION: On October 25, 2018, after a full discussion into the merits of the case, the Board voted to: FIND that the Skelly due process requirements were met; SUSTAIN the cause of action of gross excessive unexcused absenteeism; FIND that the Discharge effective February 20, 2018 was appropriate and is SUSTAINED. Having discarded much of the Hearing Examiners findings and recommendations, the Board President appointed Commissioner Sargent to work with the Board s Counsel to create a Findings Report for the Board to consider. The draft findings report has been distributed to the parties who were invited to submit a responding brief if they so desired. The Consideration and adopting of the Board s Findings Report is the sole item remaining before the Board in this matter. COMMISSION ACTION: On Discussion: The Commission Vice President reviewed the actions of the Board on October 25, 2018 to address the Skelly requirements and sustain the charge and Discharge. Because the Board did not adopt the recommendations of the Hearing Examiner, it was deemed necessary for the Board to create its own Findings. Commissioner Sargent, working with the Board s Counsel, created the Report. All parties were provided with copies of the Findings Report and none submitted any briefs in response. minutes 3

The Department thanked the Board for its efforts. The Appellant arrived more than thirty minutes after the Board had completed its work on this case. He did not request reconsideration.

APPEARANCE ITEM - UNFINISHED BUSINESS 8. APPEALS UNDER CHARTER SECTION 1016, (Continued) b. Suren SAHAKYAN, Accountant, Department of Airports. Discharge effective December 5, 2017. Report and recommendations of the Board s Hearing Examiner Christina Page following the conduct of hearings held on May 1, 2018, May 2, 2018 and May 22, 2018 into the subject appeal of Mr. Sahakyan. The Hearing Examiner recommends that the Board: A. FIND that the Skelly due process provisions were met with regard to all charges except to allegations that (1) Appellant engaged in off-duty misconduct in conflict with job duties; 2) after receiving the Copier NTCD, Appellant continued to use the copier machine for improper purposes; FIND that the Appellant is entitled to back pay award from December 5, 2017 until the Board files its decision;. 1) SUSTAIN the cause of action of engaging in off-duty misconduct in conflict with his job duties; 2) SUSTAIN the cause of action of violating Departmental rules relating to disclosure of outside employment; 3) NOT SUSTAIN the cause of action of continued failure to perform work assignments; 4) NOT SUSTAIN the cause of action of failing to provide information, including notice of his arrest; 5) SUSTAIN the cause of action of falsifying City records; 6) NOT SUSTAIN the cause of action of falsely claiming sick pay; 7) NOT SUSTAIN the cause of action of continued use of City equipment without authorization. B. FIND that the Discharge effective December 5, 2017 was appropriate and is SUSTAINED. C. MAKE A DETERMINATION to adopt the findings and conclusions in the Hearing Examiner s report as its own. File No. 54914 COMMISSION ACTION: Continued from October 25, 2018 Discussion: The Commission Vice President reminded the parties that the Board had met with its counsel to discuss the legal requirements of the Skelly decision and the Department s responsibilities to adhere to its precepts. During the open session, a full discussion into the requirements of Skelly and the errors committed in this case was held. As the discussion progressed, it touched upon the actual charges against the Appellant. Options were discussed until the presiding officer suggested the parties take an opportunity to consider a mutually agreeable settlement, taking into consideration the discussion and apparent positions of the Commissioners as reviled during the discussion and the ramification to each side should the Board members be forced to make the decision on the issues before it. A short recess was called to allow the parties to discuss terms. minutes 5
