SECONDLY, WE HAVE ON FEBRUARY 28TH THE POLICE SERGEANT TEST.

RIGHT.COMING ON TO ITEM NUMBER SEVEN, A MOTION TO CONDUCT A HEARING ON THE VALIDITY OF AN APPEAL FOR FORM OF BATON ROUGE FIREFIGHTER, UH, JAMES NAER.
UM, MR. CHAIRMAN, THE PARTIES AGREED TO, UH, CONTINUE THIS MATTER, UH, UNTIL THE, THE UPCOMING APRIL MEETING.
SO THERE'S NO ACTION, UH, NEEDED BY THE BOARD.
WE'LL JUST HAVE IT SCHEDULED FOR THE, UH, APRIL 22ND, 2024 MEETING.
JOSHUA, DID, DID, DID THEY REQUEST THIS OR DID THAT COME FROM, ARE WE DEFERRING IT OR DID THEY REQUEST THAT? THE PARTIES REQUESTED IT? UM, AND THEY SUBMIT THAT IN WRITING.
THEY DID, THEY SENT AN EMAIL, EXCUSE ME.
UH, THE ATTORNEY FOR THE BATON ROUGE FIRE DEPARTMENT, UH, MADE THE CALL TO ME ASKING SO LONG AS THE, UH, THE OTHER GUY, THE, THE EMPLOYEE AGREED TO IT.
I SAID, I DON'T THINK THE BOARD WOULD HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE FIRST CONTINUANCE.
THAT'S GENERALLY OUR, UH, DISPOSITION.
THEY DID IN FACT GET TOGETHER AND THEY AGREED THAT THERE WAS NO PROBLEM.
THEY SENT THAT TO THE BOARD IN WRITING.
BUT I DO APPRECIATE THAT CLARIFICATION ON THE RECORD.
SEEING THERE'S NO ACTION TAKEN, WE ARE NOTING THAT THE, UH, IT WILL ACTUALLY TAKE PLACE ON THE APRIL 22ND MEETING.
WE SHOULD MOVE ON TO ITEM NUMBER EIGHT, AND
[8. Consider a Motion and Oder to Dismiss with Prejudice - Crystal Duckworth - IA#13~23 ]
THAT'S TO CONSIDER A MOTION TO ORDER TO DE DISMISS WITH PREJUDICE.CRYSTAL DUCKWORTH IA, FILE NUMBER 13 DASH 23.
MR. CHAIRMAN, ON THIS PARTICULAR, UM, ISSUE, I THINK YOU GUYS HAVE THE MOTION IN ORDER TO DISMISS IN YOUR PACKET, BUT, UM, IT SEEMS THE PARTIES JUST RESOLVED THEIR ISSUES AND WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DECIDE, BUT WE DO HAVE, OBVIOUSLY THEIR SIGNED, UH, NOT SIGNED AGREEMENT, BUT WE DO HAVE THEIR MOTION IN ORDER TO DISMISS.
I'D RECOMMEND THAT THE, UH, BOARD, YOU KNOW, GRANT THE MOTION IN ORDER TO DISMISS.
DO YOU ANTICIPATE GETTING THE SIGNED MOTION, UH, SOON? YOU MEAN THE SIGNED, UH, AGREEMENT AGREEMENT? YEAH.
UH, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PRACTICE IS FOR.
UM, SOME, SOME MUNICIPALITIES DON'T GIVE US THE SIGNED AGREEMENT.
ONCE WE GRANT THIS MOTION THAT'S IN MY HAND, IT'S OVER, IT'S DISPOSED WITH AND THEY CAN'T BRING IT BACK TO US.
SO I'M ASSUMING, CONSIDERING THAT MR. IVY ON BEHALF OF THE EMPLOYEE FILED IT, I CAN'T IMAGINE THAT IT WOULD, IT WOULD COME BACK UP AGAIN.
BUT NO, I DON'T, I DOUBT THAT WE WOULD GET THE, THE TERMS OF THEIR AGREEMENT UNLESS THE BOARD JUST DEMANDS IT FROM, UH, THE APPOINTING AUTHORITY.
SO I DON'T KNOW IF MR. RAINS HAS ANY ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS ON THAT.
SO AT THIS POINT IT IS, IT IS SIGNED AND FINISHED AT THIS POINT.
IN THAT CASE, THEN I WOULD MOVE THAT WE ISSUE AN ARTICLE, MRS. PREJUDICE.
MOVING ON TO ITEM NUMBER NINE IS TO CONSIDER REQUESTS TO APPEAL A AND DEMAND A HEARING AND INVESTIGATION BY THE BOARD RELATIVE TO THE DISCIPLINARY AND CORRECTIVE ACTION TAKEN AGAINST CRYSTAL DUCKWORTH ON MARCH THE SECOND, 2024 THROUGH MARCH 4TH, WHICH CAUSED HER TO LOSE SALARY AND OR BENEFITS.
UM, MR. CHAIRMAN, JUST BRIEFLY, I'M GONNA GO BACK TO NUMBER A AND I APOLOGIZE FOR BEING OUTTA ORDER.
THE BOARD WILL GET THE CORRESPONDING PERSONNEL ACTION FORM, THOUGH.
SO THE BOARD WILL HAVE AN IDEA OF WHAT THE, THAT IT DID TAKE PLACE, EXACTLY WHAT EXACTLY HAPPENED.
[9. Consider a request to appeal and demand a hearing and investigation by the Board relative to the disciplinary and corrective action taken against Crystal Duckworth on March 2, 2024, through March 4, 2024, which caused her to lose salary and/or benefits. ]
UM, BUT AS TO NUMBER NINE, THIS NEW APPEAL FROM MS. DUCKWORTH, UM, THE BOARD'S JOB AT THIS POINT IS TO SCHEDULE IT.I UNDERSTAND MR. RAINS HAS SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW, HE WANTS TO SAY ON THIS ISSUE.
UM, MR. IVY IS NOT HERE, SO I MEAN, WE'RE NOT ENTERTAINING ARGUMENT, BUT, UH, I THINK HE'S GOING TO FILE SOME TYPE OF MOTION, UH, TO DISMISS THIS APPEAL AND I'LL ALLOW MR. RAINS TO SPEAK ON IT.
AND WHAT I WOULD RECOMMEND, IF THAT'S THE THE CASE, WE PROBABLY SHOULD SET THE MOTION FIRST AND THEN SET THE APPEAL FOR A LATER TIME.
BUT THAT'S AGAIN, UP TO THE BOARD.
UH, WELL, JUST TO RECAP, UM, IT DID SAY DEMAND A HEARING AND AN INVESTIGATION BY THE BOARD.
[00:10:01]
ONE POINT ASKING THE BOARD TO CONDUCT A INVESTIGATION THAT HE JUST LITERALLY COPIED THE, UH, THE WORDS FROM THE STATUTE.THAT'S THE STATUTE SAYS HEARING AND INVESTIGATION, BUT IT'S AN APPEAL.
SO, UH, WHAT'S THE PLEASURE? WOULD WE LIKE TO SET A, UM, LET'S SEE, MR. RANGE.
JUST BRIEFLY, UM, UH, OFFICER DUCKWORTH HAS RESIGNED FROM THE DEPARTMENT.
UH, BASED ON THAT I WILL BE FILING A MOTION TO DISMISS THIS ACTION.
UM, IT'S SIMILAR TO ANOTHER CASE THAT YOU ALL DEALT WITH LAST YEAR FROM A RESIGNED EMPLOYEE.
WE FILED A MOTION OR WE, WE DEALT WITH A MOTION TO DISMISS.
ULTIMATELY THE BOARD ENDED UP DISMISSING THAT MATTER, AND THEN THAT EMPLOYEE HAS APPEALED THAT TO THE 19TH JDC.
UM, SO THIS IS GONNA BE SIMILAR.
WE'LL BE FILING A MOTION TO DISMISS BASED ON THE FACT THAT YOU ALL NO LONGER HAVE JURISDICTION OVER EMPLOYEES WHO HAVE RESIGNED FROM THE DEPARTMENT TRYING TO FILE APPEALS OVER THINGS THAT OCCURRED WHILE THEY WERE EMPLOYEES OF THE DEPARTMENT.
SO, UM, WE WOULD, I, WE WOULD ASK THAT IF ANYTHING, WE WOULD JUST SET THE ARGUMENT ON THE MATTER FOR NEXT MONTH, AND THEN DEPENDING ON WHAT THE BOARD DOES, WE CAN SET THE MERITS OF THE CASE AFTER THAT.
SO, TO BE CLEAR, UH, THE, WHAT WE'RE ASKING IS TO SET THE HEARING ON WHETHER THE CASE CAN BE HEARD BY US.
I HAVE NOT YET FILED THE MOTION.
THIS WAS, THIS APPEAL WAS JUST FILED.
SO WE'LL BE FILING THAT IN IN THIS WEEK PROBABLY.
AND THAT WOULD BE FOR THE APRIL 22ND MEETING, IF THAT WORKS FOR EVERYBODY.
SO, BUT, BUT GENERALLY SPEAKING, THE ACCIDENT AGAINST, UH, POLICEMAN DUCKWORTH TOOK PLACE WHILE WE DID HAVE AUTHORITY.
SO DOES THAT MEAN THAT, UM, WE OBLIGATED HERE? AND SO I DON'T WANT TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION WITHOUT MR. IVY BEING HERE TO PRESENT, YOU KNOW, TO PRESENT HIS SIDE OF IT.
I THINK, HONESTLY, THAT'S THE QUESTION.
I DON'T THINK WE WANNA OFFER ANY OPINION AS TO WHETHER OR NOT MR. RAINS IS RIGHT OR WRONG.
UM, I THINK ALL HE'S DOING AT THIS POINT IS LETTING US KNOW.
HE'S GONNA BRING THE QUESTION TO THE BOARD, UM, AND THEN WE CAN ARGUE THAT.
BUT I WANT MR. IVY TO BE HERE TO, UH, TO GIVE HIS SIDE OF THE STORY TOO.
SO AT THAT POINT WE WOULD BE HEARING FROM BOTH SIDES WHETHER THE MO THE, THE ARGUMENT FOR AND AGAINST WHETHER THE MOTION CAN GO FORWARD OR BE HEARD.
AND I THINK SINCE, UH, IRONICALLY LAST TIME, I THINK WE MADE MR. IVY FILE SOMETHING FIRST.
I THINK BECAUSE MR. RAINS IS BRINGING IT TO OUR ATTENTION, IT'S ON MR. RAINS TO FILE FIRST IN, IN THIS SITUATION.
SO, UM, BUT YEAH, I WOULD SUGGEST THAT WE, WHEN DO YOU ANTICIPATE HAVING THAT MOTION FILED? DO WE NEED TO GIVE MR. IVY ENOUGH TIME TO RESPOND AND, AND SURE.
UM, LEMME LOOK AT MY CALENDAR IS THAT I'M HOPING TO FILE IT THIS WEEK BY, BY THE END OF THE WEEK.
UM, AND I THINK WE SHOULD, YOU KNOW, ASK MR. UM, IVY AND I'LL CALL HIM TO, TO SPEAK WITH HIM AFTERWARDS, UM, TO HAVE SOMETHING FILED TO THE BOARD SEVEN DAYS BEFORE.
AND I THINK THAT'S PLENTY ENOUGH TIME TO, TO RESPOND.
SO THE ARGUMENT'S ON THE 22ND THEN BY THE 15TH, RIGHT.
SO THE MONDAY BEFORE FIVE, SO EFFECTIVELY WE'RE OUR, THE ITEM NUMBER NINE HAS CHANGED TO, UM, A REQUEST OR TO OUR HEARING ON WHETHER OR NOT THE APPEAL CAN GO FORWARD.
THAT WOULD BE ON THE 22ND ON THE, ON THE 22ND.
YOU, YOU ACTUALLY BRING UP A FAIR POINT.
MS. DUCKWORTH, THROUGH MR. IVY ASKED FOR AN APPEAL.
I THINK THE APPEAL NEEDS TO BE SET TODAY ALSO BECAUSE SHE DID ASK FOR AN APPEAL.
NOW, WHETHER THAT IS ON THE APRIL 22ND OR FOR THE MEETING IN MAY, I THINK THAT'S UP TO THE BOARD.
I THINK WHAT MR. UH, RAINS IS ASKING FOR IS TO HAVE THE HEARING FIRST.
IF WE WERE TO HAVE THE HEARING AND THEN AFTER THE HEARING SET THE DATE FOR THE APPEAL.
SO, UM, IN THE EVENT THAT THE APPEAL IS SUCCESSFUL, THEN MAY 27TH WOULD BE THE DATE OF THE APPEAL.
ARE WE, ARE Y'ALL MEETING ON THAT DAY? IT'S USUALLY TYPICALLY THE LAST MONDAY IN MAY.
WE, WE HAVE IT ON THE AGENDA MAY 27TH.
THAT MAY BE BRING UP A ITEM FOR NEW BUSINESS.
TO, UH, IF AT THIS POINT I WORK EVERY DAY, SO IT DOESN'T BOTHER ME, BUT Y'ALL MAY HAVE A VACATION PLAN.
[00:15:04]
WHAT WOULD BE YOU GUYS PLEASURE? WOULD YOU I GUESS I, I WOULD MOVE THAT WE, I SET THE DATE FOR THE HEARING, UH, FOR OUR NEXT MEETING FOR THE 20.SO AGAIN, TO BE READY FOR A HEARING YEAH.
SO WE ALREADY HAVE SOMETHING ELSE ON THE 22ND.
DO WE WELL, WE HAVE, UH, THAT'S THE HEARING FROM, UH, YOU TALKING ABOUT THE, THE FIRE? YES.
THE FIRE, THE NAILER THAT'S A HEARING IS ON THE 22ND.
AND THEN WE HAVE THE ARGUMENT FOR THE HEARING.
AND IF SUCCESSFUL, WE'D HAVE THE APPEAL HEARING.
SO WE HAVE TWO HEARINGS ALREADY.
SO I MEAN, I MEAN IT'S, IT, I I'M, I'M NOT OPPOSED TO IT, IT, IT, IT'S JUST MY VOICE WOULD JUST BE THAT WE'D DO IT ON A NEXT VE DATE.
I DON'T THINK THOSE TWO MOTIONS IS, IS TOO MUCH TO HEAR ON ONE DAY.
SO, SO THE MOTION WOULD BE TO HAVE THE CONSIDER TO CONSIDER WELL, NOT TO CONSIDER.
TO CONSIDER WHETHER NO, NOT WE HAVE JURISDICTION.
CONSIDER WHETHER OR NOT WE HAVE JURISDICTION TO HERE.
AND THEN IN THE EVENT, WOULD IT BE A, IN THE EVENT, HAVE THE HEARING IMMEDIATELY AFTER THAT? YOU MEAN ON THE SAME DAY? YEAH, I THINK THAT'S WHAT WE WERE JUST SAYING.
OH, NO, I, I MISUNDERSTOOD THAT.
THIS, I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS MOTION.
I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT THE BOARD SET THE, UH, THE HEARING ON WHETHER OR NOT THERE'S JURISDICTION FOR APRIL 22ND.
AND THEN IF THAT, IF THE APPEAL IS GOING TO GO FORWARD, WHATEVER THE MAY MEETING IS, WE HAVE THE, UH, THE APPEAL HEARING THAT DAY.
OH, AND THE NEXT AVAILABLE DAY.
NEXT JUNE 24TH, WHICH WILL BE THE, THE MONDAY AFTER THAT.
THE MONTH AFTER, WHICH ONE? JUNE 24TH.
SO IN CASE SOMEONE CAN'T SHOW FOR THE MAY HEARING.
WELL, I THINK WE, WHAT, WHAT I'D LIKE TO DO IS PROBABLY DEAL WITH THAT NEXT, IF THE BOARD WILL ENTERTAIN THAT ON WHAT WE'D LIKE TO DO WITH THE MAY MEETING, WHETHER WE CHANGE IT AND, UM, CHANGE THE DATE ON IT TO THE MONDAY BEFORE OR WHAT WORKS WITH EVERYONE.
BUT LET'S, LET'S DEAL WITH THIS ONE FIRST.
THE MOTION AS, UH, JOSHUA MENTIONED.
DO WE HAVE A YEAH, I, I MOVE TO, UH, TO, UH, THE MOTION THAT JOHN JOSHUA RECOMMENDED.
SO THE MOTION IS TO HEAR THE ARGUMENT ON WHETHER WE HAVE JURISDICTION OR NOT TO HEAR THE APPEAL.
SO SECOND, UH, PRESS ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
UM, AT THIS TIME, I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S PROPER, BUT, UH, CAN WE DEAL WITH THE MAY MEETING AT THIS POINT? OR WILL WE HAVE TO SEPARATE THIS AS AN ITEM AND THE AGENDA AND ADD IT TO IT? YOU'D HAVE TO ADD, UM, THAT TO THE AGENDA BY UNANIMOUS CONSENT AND THEN DEAL WITH IT AT THAT POINT.
WHICH, I MEAN, IF THE WHY, WHY, WHY DO WE NEED TO CONSIDER THE MAY MEETING? BECAUSE IT'S FALLING ON THE HOLIDAY MEMO.
SO WE WE KNEW THAT WHEN WE SAID IT
I DON'T HAVE ANY OBJECTION TO ADD IT TO THE AGENDA.
[Additional Item]
AT THIS TIME, UM, I WOULD LIKE TO ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO VOTE TO ADD AN ITEM TO THE AGENDA AS IT RELATES TO THE MAY MEETING.SO CAN WE HAVE A ROLL CALL VOTE? YES, SIR.
WAS THERE A MOTION AND A SECOND? OH, I'M SORRY.
I WOULD MOVE THAT WE HAD THE DATE AND I SECOND.
ALRIGHT, SO NOW WE NEED A ROLL CALL VOTE TO ENSURE UNANIMOUS CONSENT.
ALRIGHT, SO NOW THE MOTION PASSES AND Y'ALL CAN HAVE THAT DISCUSSION ABOUT THE, THE MAY DATE.
YES, IT IS BEEN BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION.
I THINK WE ACKNOWLEDGE THAT AT THE TIME OF THE CALENDAR WAS SET, BUT IN THE EVENT IT MAY CAUSE A CONFLICT FOR BOARD MEMBERS BEING OUTTA TOWN.
I'D LIKE TO ENTERTAIN A DISCUSSION ON WHETHER WE SHOULD MOVE IT TO A MORE ACCOMMODATING DATE IF NEEDED.
WHAT IS THAT DATE, BRANDON? 27TH.
[00:20:01]
A LOT PEOPLE OUT OF TOWN ON THAT MONDAY.I I WILL NOT BE PRESENT FOR THAT MEETING.
SO, UH, WHAT ABOUT THE MONDAY BEFORE THAT? WHAT DATE IS THAT? THE 20TH.
DO WE HAVE, UH, ANYBODY HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE 20TH? I, I'M GONNA BE OUT OF THE COUNTRY.
THEY DON'T NEED, I WISH, UM, WHO WE GOT MR. RICKS GOING TO THE BAHAMAS.
I MEAN, WHAT ABOUT THE 13TH? INTERESTED IN THE 13TH? GUYS? STILL GONNA BE OFF THE COUNTRY, MAN, THAT'S A LONG TRIP.
UH, YOU KNOW, GUYS, YOU DON'T, YOU CAN, YOU CAN SKIP THE MEETING IN MAY IF, IF, IF YOU CAN'T FIND A DATE AND IT DOESN'T ALSO HAVE TO BE ON A MONDAY.
WELL, YEAH, IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE GONNA HAVE TROUBLE.
I THINK WE SHOULD STRIKE THE MAY MEETING IF THAT'S OKAY WITH YOU GUYS.
SO THE NEXT AVAILABLE MEETING WOULD BE JUNE.
SO WE WOULD TABLE THE MEETING TO THE REGULAR TIME IN JUNE, AND I THINK THE MOTION WOULD BE TO, UM, FOREGO THE MEETING ON MAY 27TH.
AND I OF COURSE, IF SOME BUSINESS WERE TO COME THAT Y'ALL NEEDED TO HAVE, Y'ALL CAN CALL A SPECIAL MEETING.
BUT FOR THE TIME BEING, YOU'RE JUST SAYING THE THE MAY 27TH MEETING IS, IS NO LONGER ON THE BOOK.
SO, UH, DO WE HAVE TO VOTE ON THAT? NEED A MOTION AND A SECOND.
ALRIGHT, I MOVE, UH, COUNCIL TO MAY 27TH MEETING.
WE HAVE REMOVED THE ITEM WILL THE MEETING FROM MAY 27TH FROM OUR SCHEDULE AND THE NEXT AVAILABLE MEETING WILL BE JUNE 24TH, WHICH WILL ALSO, UM, BE AT THE TIME THAT IN THE EVENT WE WOULD TENTATIVELY SCHEDULE THE CRYSTAL DUCKWORTH, UH, HEARING.
[10. Hear and Decide Appeal concerning Brian Watson- ]
ON TO THE NEXT ITEM IS THE HEARING BESIDE THE APPEAL CONCERNING BRIAN WATSON.AND THANKFULLY THAT IS THE SAME DEAL AS THE DUCKWORTH SITUATION.
THAT MATTER HAS BEEN RESOLVED AND WE DON'T HAVE TO HEAR AN APPEAL TODAY.
UH, SEEING NO ACTION NEEDED FROM US.
IT'S CONSIDERING A MOTION TO ADJOURN.
'CAUSE OUR ITEM NUMBER 11 BECAME THE YEAH, I SO MOVE THAT WE ADJOURN.
