Dear Mr. Albert:
The Office of Insrector General ("OIG") has completed its investigation in the
above-referenced complaint. After thorough review of all the evidence, OIG found that,
you directed a eubordinats to use your City badge to ewipe you into the buiing to faleoly
Show you were present when you were not. OIG found you knowingly took paid time off
but did not requite the correction to the timekeeping system to deduct it from your leave
balances. OIG found youfalsely alleged you were sickinjured to obtain benefit pay when
you were out of state. IG also found you collected a fulltime City salary but did not
‘work on a number of workdays. Therefore, OIG sustains the allegations that you violated
Section 14-183(a) (7) of the City Code of Ordinances and the City’s Administrative
Procedure (AP) 2-4, tiled "Electronic Timekeeping.
1G also finds that you engaged in untruthfulness, both in your timekeeping
actions and in your statements to OIG that you had been physically present in your office
‘when you had not, When after your OIG interview you discovered the fallure of your scam
to have a subordinate swipe your badge to falsely show your presence in the building,

“This list of misconduct is not exhaustive.
Com Mentr: Seis Sg ny Dav EIN R.Clan OAM A Bale Oe Mat Sowa cng Tre‘The City requires you to repay the City for the salary and paid leave you did not
‘earn up to the date you were placed on Relief of Duty without Pay. Because you stated
at one point that the miliary orders you provided OIG are incorrect because they discuss
your attendance at boot camp but you said you opted out of boot camp, the City fs unable
to calculate the amount you owe the City until its receipt of your final or amended orders
‘and your written application for any compensation in connection with your actual military
leave.
Please provide your final or amended orders (or notice thatthe orders you recently
provided OIG are your only and final orders) by June 7, 2019. Ifthe City does not receive
the documents by the date requested, the City will be forced to calculate the amount you
owe the City assuming you attended no military training at all, Please contact Council
