The City of Miami Civil Service Board on Oct. 28 reviewed a public records response that the city said shows two employees were at work on days they failed to appear under subpoena for civil service proceedings.

Assistant City Attorney Lynette Aguirre told the board the payroll records provided by the department were included in the board packet and that the public records request was closed on the city’s end. "I believe that you were provided with the response from the department on the public records request, and I think that the public records request is now closed on our end," Aguirre said on the record.

Board members discussed the implication that the employees had time‑card entries showing they were present at work on the day they were subpoenaed but did not attend the civil service appearance. One board member said the board had already forwarded a recommendation to the city manager and noted that the manager had met with the employees; the board requested a follow‑up response from the manager about potential discipline or other actions.

The chair and board counsel discussed the procedural posture: the public records unit sought a document from payroll after an earlier response that the board deemed insufficient; the payroll records (described in the transcript as an Outlook screenshot and time‑card copies) were later provided and put in the board packet.

No formal disciplinary action was taken by the board Oct. 28; the board stated it would give the city manager an opportunity to respond and report back about any personnel actions or findings stemming from the employees’ nonappearance under subpoena.
