Motion by Mike Crawford, supported by Laura Stanek to deny the Wheatley grievance for the following reasons: There appears to be no violation of the cited sections or any other sections of the collective bargaining agreement The grievance indicates that Sergeant Janisse disciplined Officer Wheatley.  A counseling session and associated memorandum are not discipline and thus union representation is not required. The personnel file is the logical place for a counseling memorandum. Motion carried – unanimous.
