Good Morning Commissioners:

On February 4, 2022, while on a zoom call, County Manager Michele Liberman and HR Director Heather Ashen held a conversation with me around 4:30pm. During the conversation, Heather alleged that I was conducting inappropriate hiring practices in the department. No one has been hired in this case. Yet each time over the past 10 or more years that the County's hiring process in the Facilities Department resulted in a recommendation of playing a qualified African American into a management position, (Facilities Manager), it ends up in an inquiry and or investigation. Because of this allegation, Ms. Liberman informed me that she was placing me on administrative leave for 14 days with pay pending the outcome of the investigation. On or around February 8, 2022, I received a text from the HR Director inviting me to meet with the County Manager on Friday, February 11, 2022 at 4:30pm. At this meeting, I was informed by the County Manager that she had lost confidence in me as a director and was terminating me.

Upon your receipt of this email, I am respectively requesting to the Commission for a copy of the investigation and any documents relating to the allegation by Thursday February 17, 2022 by 5:00pm.

I look forward to receiving the requested information and thanking you in advance.

Charlie
