in effect

3.04.1450 - Findings and decision. A. In arriving at a decision, the commission may consider any prior suspension or suspensions of the employee by authority of any appointing authority, or any prior proceedings under this chapter. The decision shall be in writing and contain findings of fact and the disciplinary action, if any. The findings may be stated in the language of the pleadings or by reference thereto. Copies of the decision shall be delivered to the parties personally or sent to them by registered mail. B. The commission shall render a decision within a reasonable time after the hearing or investigation. The disciplinary action taken by the appointing authority shall stand unless modified or revoked by the commission. If the commission finds that the cause or causes for which the disciplinary action was imposed were insufficient or not sustained, or that the employee was justified in the course of conduct upon which the causes were based, it may modify or revoke the disciplinary action and it may order the employee returned to his position, either as of the date of the disciplinary action or as of such later date as it may specify. The decision of the commission shall be entered upon the minutes of the commission. (Prior code § 2016.10.)
