(f) The personnel board shall make written findings which shall state as to each charge whether or not such charge is sustained. The personnel board shall also set forth in writing its conclusions and recommendations based upon such findings, and within ten (10) days after concluding the hearing, it shall certify its findings, conclusions, and recommendations to the officer from whose action the appeal was taken, and to the city manager and the city council. (g) If, with respect to a suspension, demotion, or dismissal, the personnel board shall conclude that the employee charged was not guilty of the act or omission resulting in such suspension, demotion, or dismissal, a recommendation by it of reinstatement without loss of pay shall be binding upon the appointing authority, who forthwith shall order such reinstatement. In the event that the personnel board shall conclude that the employee was guilty of the act or omission resulting in such suspension, demotion, or dismissal but that the penalty was not warranted under the circumstances, the personnel board may review the severity and appropriateness of the punishment. A recommendation by it of a greater or lesser punishment or of reinstatement with or without loss of pay shall be binding upon the appointing authority, who forthwith shall order the same. If, with respect to a suspension, demotion or dismissal, the personnel board concludes that the employee was guilty of the act or omission resulting in such suspension, demotion or dismissal, and that such punishment was warranted, such decision shall be final. (h) Vacancies created under this section may be filled by the appointing authority by temporary appointment pending the completion of any proceedings taken hereunder. (i) A reduction in pay shall be treated as a demotion under this section, unless the reduction in pay is part of a plan of reclassification of positions or of a plan to reduce salaries and wages in connection with a general economy or curtailment program, or is the result of a finding by the appointing authority that the employee's performance does not justify the continuance of a level of pay that is dependent upon meritorious service. A failure to grant an increase in pay at a time when an increase would otherwise have been granted as a part of a plan to increase salaries and wages throughout the city service shall not be treated as a demotion under this section. Q) The personnel board may adopt procedural rules to govern the conduct of its hearings. ARTICLE VI.- LEAVES, HOLIDAYS AND ABSENCES DIVISION 1.- GENERALLY Sec. 9-142. - Same—Same—Return from.
