(A) Any employee of the city found guilty by the Civil Service Commission of any charge as provided by § 37.07 may bring an action in the Bullitt Circuit Court of the county in which the city is located to contest the action of that body.
(B) Upon request in writing by the accused, and the payment of costs therefor, the clerk of the Civil Service Commission shall file a certified copy of the charges and the judgement of that body in the Circuit Court. Upon the transcript being filed the case shall be docketed in the Circuit Court and tried as an original action.
(C) If the clerk fails to certify the transcript to the Circuit Court within five (5) days after the request is made, then the aggrieved person may file an affidavit in that court setting out as fully as possible the charges made at the time of trial and judgement, together with a statement that demand for the transcript had been made of the clerk more than five (5) days prior to the filing of the affidavit. Upon filing of this affidavit in the Circuit Court, the case shall be docketed in that court and the court may compel the filing of the transcript by the clerk by entering proper mandatory order, and upon failure of the clerk so to do, he shall be liable to fine and imprisonment for contempt. Such action shall have precedence over other business and be determined speedily.
(KRS 90.370) (Ord. 85-8, passed 9-16-85)
(A) The City Council shall fix by ordinance the number and classification of city employees, and the salaries for each classification. When the number of employees and their classification has been fixed by ordinance, no employee shall be dismissed, suspended or reduced in grade or pay for any reason except that set out in § 37.07 herein.
(B) Whenever in the exercise of a reasonable discretion, it shall be the judgement of the City Council that economic necessity requires it, or that there is no longer a need for a particular office or position to exist, the Board of Commissioners may abolish said office or position and any officer or employee occupying said office or position may be laid off or suspended until and if such office or position is recreated or re-established. The abolition of any office or position must not be a subterfuge to effect another purpose, but must be actual and bona fide and must not amount to the mere alteration, modification or abolition of title only.
(C) Should any officer or employee conceive that he has been aggrieved by the abolition or the proposed abolition of said office or position, he may, at any time within ninety (90) days, file a petition in equity in the Bullitt Circuit Court, stating his reasons why the position or office has not been fairly abolished, or why it should not be abolished, and upon issue joined thereon by the city, the burden shall be on the latter to establish the necessity for and the good faith of the city in abolishing said office or position. The right to abolish and the right to have the office or position recreated shall be determined as other equitable actions are determined.
(D) If the office or position is recreated or re-established within five (5) years, then any person who was deprived of his office or position shall be restored to the office or position he formerly held or occupied in the order of his seniority if he shall elect to do so, and the city shall advise said officer or employee at his last known address and advertise pursuant to KRS Chapter 424, that the office or position has been recreated or re-established.
(KRS 90.380) (Ord. 85-8, passed 9-16-85)
