Valderrama v. Santa ClaraCounty Personnel Bd.
Appellant Michael Valderrama was employed as an airport operations worker by the Roads and Airports Department of the County of Santa Clara (County) for more than four years. His employment was terminated for cause in January 2006 and a hearing officer upheld the termination after a Skelly hearing.[1] Valderrama sought review of the hearing officers decision by the Santa Clara County Personnel Board (Board). Four members of the five-member Board held an evidentiary hearing in July and August of 2006 and reached a tie vote, with two members voting to sustain Valderramas termination and two members voting to overturn it due to the lack of progressive discipline.
