The directive was proper in that the City is not required <br />to provide seven (7) days notice for a change in shift <br />schedule when unusual circumstances exist. In this case, <br />the unpredicted change in weather and temperature made it <br />impossible to maintain the ice at the City's skating and <br />hockey rinks (the main reason for establishing a night <br />shift in the first place) and no other meaningful work was <br />available for persons on a night shift schedule. <br />2. Although the City Is efforts could have been better in <br />informing you of the shift change, you put forth no <br />effort in complying with the directive and minimal effort <br />advising us of the reasons why you would not comply. <br />3. Your actions have been insubordinate by not complying <br />with a properly issued directive. <br />As a result, it was my recommendation to the City Council, with <br />which they concurred, that both parties, yourself and Mr. Kardell, <br />are at fault and that appropriate disciplinary action be taken <br />against each of you at a level consistent with the severity of <br />the indiscretion. Therefore, you are hereby advised that as a <br />
