Thursday night  the Summerville City Council chose a three-member appeals board that will decide whether an employee was wrongfully terminated last week.

 

A  12-year customer service representative with the city is challenging Summerville City Manager Russell Thompson's decision to terminate her. The hearing is set for 5:30 p.m. Tuesday at City Hall.

Mayor Harry Harvey will serve on the board, as will Councilman Zach Martin and Amber Browning, a personnel director at a local manufacturing company. 

The city isn't giving out any details as to why the woman was fired. All Thompson would say is that after a review of her performance it was found that some sections of the city's personnel policy were violated.
