If the employee is found to have violated a policy at the conclusion of the administrative hearing, a recommendation of discipline will be advised by members of the board.  The final determination of discipline imposed will be decided by Sheriff Tim Cameron, after careful consideration and review of transcripts from the administrative hearing and the board’s recommendation.
