On Thursday, April 12,1990, your City vehicle was observed in the driveway of your hoi by Mr. Walden at approximately 12:30PM. You had been assigned a job at the Sw
Complex and you were observed leaving for lunch at 1l:OOAM. When questioned la1
that day by your supervisor, Mr. Coleman, you admitted to "stopping by" your house duri
lunch. You had previously been warned about using the City vehicle to go home for lun
or breaks, and are well aware of the policy prohibiting the use of City vehicles for persoi
use.
Mr. Chrisman, you have been counseled and warned numerous times by both Mr. Colem and Mr. Walden about misusing City time and vehicles. Because you have failed to corn]
with established policy, this letter of reprimand has become necessary. A copy of this ler
will be place in your personnel file. Continued inappropriate conduct will result in M
disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal.
