Bigowsky hearing

The complaint says Bigowsky:

Taught private classes at various educational institutions while on city time without approval and failed to properly document work hours during those weeks.

Engaged in conduct that undermines the civil service hiring and selection process. Without authorization, he dispatched letters to candidates indicating that the failure to provide certain information would lead to the conclusion that the person on the police hiring list was “no longer interested in remaining active” as a candidate.

Showed complete disregard for a valid direct order to appear for morning briefing sessions and provide operational updates to the administration.

Challenged a validly issued directive by the appointing authority before the civil service commission that he report for regular meetings and briefings.

Alleged the mayor “got out of his chair and blocked my exit by stepping in front of me and the door” in a letter to the civil service commission. The complaint says the allegation is false and completely inaccurate.

Failed to properly monitor, enact procedures and otherwise take action related to the approval, review and control of overtime expenditures.

Provided derogatory statements concerning the appointing authority to a local newspaper and accused the appointing authority of “unprofessional conduct ... bullying and intimidation.”
