Board of Public Works and Safety upholds termination of Brian Albrecht
Summary
At its April 24 meeting the Lawrence Board of Public Works and Safety voted to uphold the termination of employee Brian Albrecht after an appeal; the transcript records the motion and vote but does not state the dismissal grounds.
The Lawrence Board of Public Works and Safety on April 24 voted to uphold the termination of Brian Albrecht after an appeal by the Lawrence Fire Department.
Board members moved and seconded a motion to uphold the dismissal; the chair called for those in favor and the motion carried. The board chair explained that a vote to uphold the dismissal would sustain the termination and that a vote against the motion would grant the appeal.
The transcript records the motion to uphold the termination and the board’s approval but does not include details of the underlying allegation(s) or the disciplinary findings that led to Albrecht’s dismissal. No formal roll-call vote with member names and individual votes was recorded in the public transcript; the proceedings reflect the routine oral “aye” vote called by the chair.
Because the transcript does not attach documents or state the dismissal grounds, the record provided to the board during the appeal is not included in the public minutes excerpt available in the transcript. The board’s action as recorded in the meeting was to uphold the termination; the decision was announced by the chair and marked “motion carries.”
