2-7-3 - Procedure and Standards of Review at Appeal Hearing.#
1.
Procedure. The City shall first present evidence in support of the employment action. The employee may then present evidence in support of the appeal. The City may thereafter offer rebuttal evidence. Formal rules of evidence shall not apply and procedures applicable to administrative hearings will be followed.
2.
Standard of Review. If the employment action is supported by substantial evidence, the action will be sustained. "Substantial evidence" is defined as that quantum and quality of relevant evidence that is adequate to convince a reasonable mind to support a conclusion. Substantial evidence is more than a mere scintilla of evidence and something less than a preponderance of the evidence.
