Dear Mrs. Hickling:

TELEPHONE (713) 473-3308
You have asked the question "Should suspension orders
which are not appealed be filed with and reviewed by the Commis-
sion?"
Article 1269m, Sec. 20, provides that whenever the
department head suspends any officer or employee under his juris-
diction, he shall file a written statement of such action with
the Commission within 120 hours thereof. The Commission need not
hold a hearing thereon.
Other matters may occur between a department head and
,~ an employee that go into a personnel file. These need not be
filed with the Commission. However, Section 5a provides that the
Commission may make investigations "concerning, and report upon all
matters touching, the enforcement and effect of the provisions of
this Act". This gives the Commission pretty wide latitude in
obtaining information and it is my opinion that the Commission
would have the right to see this information if it was required in
connection with their duties.
The opinion of the City Attorney should be obtained if
the Commission and the Department Head disagree as to how this
should be handled.
Respectfully submitted,
~~
Thomas F. Lay
