Warsaw Board of Public Works and Safety will hold two executive sessions that are closed to the public to discuss a personnel issue.
During a phone interview Tuesday afternoon, Warsaw City Attorney Mike Valentine confirmed that the board will meet in two separate executive sessions to discuss the Warsaw Police Dept. patrolman Tony Faucett case.The sessions will be Sept. 30 at 8:30 a.m. and Oct. 16 at 10 a.m.
The executive sessions are closed to the public, and no decision will be made during the executive sessions regarding the status of Faucett's employment.
Valentine said during the executive sessions the board will review proposed findings of fact from Faucett's lawyers, attorneys Richard Beers and Dan Leininger, and attorney Mike Miner, representing, Warsaw Police Chief Perry Hunter.
The board will hold a regularly scheduled meeting open to the public Oct. 16 at 10:30 p.m. at city hall.
During the public meeting, the board will make a decision on Faucett's employment status, according to Warsaw Mayor Ernie Wiggins.
The board voted at its Sept. 4 meeting to suspend Faucett with pay until Sept. 30. Faucett requested at the Sept. 4 meeting that a hearing be held to continue discussion on the issue.
Also during the Sept. 4 meeting, Hunter recommended Faucett be terminated from his duties.
Hunter presented a letter to the board during the meeting with alleged violations Faucett committed.
The alleged violations included neglecting duties by failing to act in the proper performance of his duties by failing to submit all written and oral reports as required by the rules and regulations of WPD.
