The hearing shall be before a panel of three attorneys randomly selected by the presiding Judge of Probate of Jefferson County from a list of attorneys who are licensed to practice law in this state and who are otherwise qualified in the opinion of the judge of probate to hear the appeal. The panel shall hear testimony offered in support and denial of such charges and from the same enter a finding of facts and conclusions of law and render a decision. All proceedings at the hearing shall be recorded by a competent stenographer or mechanical recording device. In all disciplinary appeal hearings, the panel shall render its opinion and decision in accordance with this section. If the panel finds the employee not guilty, the panel shall order the reinstatement of the employee under such conditions as the panel may determine. If the panel finds the employee guilty, the panel shall determine whether the employee shall be dismissed, demoted, suspended, or otherwise disciplined. The agreement of at least two panelists shall be required for a final decision of the panel. The panel’s decision shall be certified to the appointing authority which shall forthwith put the same into effect. The decision of the panel based upon all proceedings before the panel shall be final subject to appeal by either party to the circuit court to review questions of law and the question of whether or not the decision or order of the panel is supported by the substantial and legal evidence. On such appeal the circuit court shall review the record and shall affirm, reverse, remand, or render the cause. The decision of the panel shall be controlling until reversed on appeal as provided for herein. The appeal shall be perfected by filing with the director of personnel a statement in writing signed by the party appealing to the effect that the party appeals from the decision or order of the panel to the circuit court, which statement shall be filed within 10 days from the announcement of the decision or order of the panel; provided further, that the party taking an appeal shall file with the clerk of the circuit court security for costs in an amount approved by any judge of the circuit court, which security for costs may consist of a cash deposit or a bond executed by such party appellant and a surety or sureties approved by the circuit clerk. Such security for costs shall be filed by the party taking the appeal within 10 days from the announcement of the decision or order of the panel. Within 10 days from the filing of such statement of appeal the director of personnel shall forward to the circuit clerk the original or copies of charges preferred and the answer filed to such charges and a complete transcript of all the proceedings before the panel at such hearing. In the event the director is unable to complete such transcript of all proceedings within 10 days, the presiding judge of the circuit court shall allow the director such additional time as may be necessary to do so. In the event copies of the charges and answer are forwarded to the circuit clerk instead of the originals, the director of personnel shall certify that the copies are true and correct copies of the originals. The personnel board shall make no charge for furnishing the copy of the record required by the circuit court.

(b) Upon receipt of the papers the circuit clerk shall present the same to the presiding judge of the circuit court or the circuit judge sitting in place of the presiding judge if the regular presiding judge be absent; and the presiding judge or the judge sitting in his or her absence shall assign the case so appealed to three circuit judges of the circuit who shall jointly review the record of the hearing before the panel. The presiding judge or the judge sitting in his or her absence in the order assigning such case for review shall designate one of the three judges to whom the case is assigned as presiding judge of such panel. Any such appeal shall be considered and determined as a preferred case in the circuit court. The opinion of a majority of three judges to whom such case is assigned shall be determinative of the case and there shall be no appeal to any appellate court of Alabama. The cost of appeal shall be taxed against the unsuccessful party. If any employee shall willfully refuse or fail to appear before any board or body authorized to conduct any hearing or inquiry, or having appeared shall refuse to testify or answer any question relating to the affairs of government or the conduct of any officer or employee on the ground that his or her testimony or answers would tend to incriminate him or her, or shall refuse to waive immunity from prosecution on account of any matter about which he or she may be asked to testify at any such hearing or inquiry, he or her shall forfeit his or her position and shall not be eligible for appointment to any position under the jurisdiction of this part. An appointing authority may, from time to time, preemptorily suspend any employee without pay or other compensation, and without the right of a hearing, as punishment for improper behavior, but any one suspension shall not exceed five days and the total suspension by such appointing authority of such person shall not exceed 10 days in any year of service. Such suspension with loss of pay may be effected only by service upon the employee by the appointing authority of written charges setting out clearly the delinquency for which such suspension was made, a copy of which shall be at the same time mailed or delivered to the director. The suspended employee shall have the right to file with the board and the appointing authority a written answer or explanation of such charges and, in the case of an employee suspended for more than five days, an appeal from the action shall be heard by the panel as in the case of a dismissal or demotion.

(a) The municipal court is vested with the power and jurisdiction to hear and adjudicate the civil violations provided for in this part, and to issue orders imposing the civil penalties and costs set out in this part.

(b) A person who receives a notice of violation may contest the imposition of the civil penalty by submitting a request for a hearing on the adjudication of the civil violation, in writing, within 15 days of the 10th day after the date the notice of violation is mailed. Upon receipt of a timely request, the city shall notify the person of the date and time of the adjudicative hearing.

(c) Failure to pay a civil penalty or to contest liability in a timely manner is an admission of liability in the full amount of the civil penalty assessed in the notice of violation.

(d) The civil penalty and court costs shall not be assessed if, after a hearing, the municipal court judge enters a finding of no liability.

(e) If an adjudicative hearing is requested, the city shall have the burden of proving the traffic signal violation by a preponderance of the evidence. The reliability of the photographic traffic signal enforcement system used to produce the recorded image of the violation may be attested to by affidavit of a trained technician. An affidavit of a trained technician that alleges a violation based on an inspection of the pertinent recorded image is admissible in a proceeding under this part and is evidence of the facts contained in the affidavit.

(f) The notice of violation, the recorded and reproduced images of the traffic signal violation, regardless of the media on which they are recorded, accompanied by a certification of authenticity of a trained technician, and evidence of ownership of a vehicle as shown by copies or summaries of official records shall be admissible into evidence without foundation unless the municipal court finds there is an indication of untrustworthiness, in which case the city shall be given a reasonable opportunity to lay an evidentiary foundation.

(g) All other matters of evidence and procedure not specifically addressed in this part shall be subject to the rules of evidence and the rules of procedure as they apply in the small claims courts of this state, except that on any appeal to the circuit court for trial de novo the evidence and procedures shall be as for any civil case in the circuit court except as otherwise provided in this part.

(h) A person who is found liable for the civil violation after an adjudicative hearing or who requests an adjudicative hearing and thereafter fails to appear at the time and place of the hearing is liable for court costs and fees set out herein in addition to the amount of the civil penalty assessed for the violation. A person who is found liable for a civil violation after an adjudicative hearing shall pay the civil penalty and costs within 10 days of the hearing.

(i) Whenever payment of a civil penalty is owed to the city, the amount of the civil penalty as set by ordinance may not be increased, decreased, or remitted by the municipal court, and the liability may be satisfied only by payment.

(j) It shall be an affirmative defense to the imposition of civil liability under this part, to be proven by a preponderance of the evidence, that:

1. The traffic-control signal was not in proper position and sufficiently visible to an ordinarily observant person.

2. The operator of the motor vehicle was acting in compliance with the lawful order or direction of a police officer.

3. The operator of the motor vehicle violated the instructions of the traffic-control signal so as to yield the right-of-way to an immediately approaching authorized emergency vehicle.

4. The motor vehicle was being operated as an authorized emergency vehicle under Sections 32-5A-7 and 32-5-213, and that the operator was acting in compliance with those chapters.

5. The motor vehicle was stolen or being operated by a person other than the owner of the vehicle without the effective consent of the owner.

6. The license plate depicted in the recorded image of the violation was a stolen plate and being displayed on a motor vehicle other than the motor vehicle for which the plate had been issued.

7. The presence of ice, snow, unusual amounts of rain, or other unusually hazardous road conditions existed that would make compliance with this part more dangerous under the circumstances than noncompliance.

8. The person who received the notice of violation was not the owner of the motor vehicle at the time of the violation.

(k) To demonstrate that at the time of the violation the motor vehicle was a stolen vehicle or the license plate displayed on the motor vehicle was a stolen plate, the owner must submit proof acceptable to the hearing officer that the theft of the vehicle or license plate, prior to the time of the violation, had been timely reported to the appropriate law enforcement agency.

(l) Notwithstanding anything in this part to the contrary, a person who fails to pay the amount of a civil penalty or to contest liability in a timely manner is entitled to an adjudicative hearing on the violation if:

1. The person files an affidavit with the hearing officer stating the date on which the person received the notice of violation that was mailed to the person, if not received by the 10th day after same is mailed as set out in subsection (c) of Section 45-24A-32.04.

2. Within the 15 days of the date of actual receipt, the person requests an administrative adjudicative hearing.

These performance ratings shall be provided by the first level of supervision and shall be reviewed by the second level of supervision; also the rating shall be discussed with the employee by the supervisor. In this discussion, the employee shall be told such things as the results of the current rating, what the rating means to their continued employment as well as their chances of promotion, and how they could improve their performance. After this discussion, the employee shall be given a chance to make written comments on the valuation form then sign and date the form. The signature of the employee denotes that the rating was discussed with them and does not denote that they agree with the rating. Performance ratings are to be used as a management tool by the supervisor and may be given at the discretion of the supervisor but shall be given at a minimum as follows:

(1) PROBATIONARY EMPLOYEES. This is a critical time for the employer and frequent discussions should be held so that the employee is well aware of his or her performance as related to management expectations. This becomes more critical for those employees who are not performing at an acceptable level. The frequency of performance ratings for these employees shall be at the discretion of appointing authority.

(2) PERMANENT EMPLOYEES. Since these employees shall have had at least one prior performance rating of acceptable level or higher, it is assumed that they are capable of performing at this level. The performance ratings should be used to insure a continuing understanding of management’s expectations and to enable and encourage the employee to increase his or her level of performance. The frequency of performance ratings shall be at the discretion of management with the exceptions that the supervisor shall discuss performance with employees semi-annually; provide an official performance rating annually; and if they are given a performance rating of below acceptable level, at least one month prior to dismissal for unacceptable performance.

Section 45-37-200.03 Issuance of Motor Vehicle or Boat Registrations; Fees; Disposition of Funds
Status: in_force

(a) The Legislature finds that Jefferson County has reduced the number of locations where the citizens of Jefferson County may be issued their motor vehicle registrations due to the financial difficulties of the county resulting in impediments to the citizens and to the collection of state and local taxes and fees. The Legislature further finds that there is a substantial local need to provide additional and supplemental means for the issuance of motor vehicle registrations in Jefferson County in response to a demonstrated local need in the county. The Legislature further finds that citizens often desire to register their boats at the same time that they register their motor vehicles, and therefore, citizens should be able to register their boats at the same locations where they register their motor vehicles as a matter of public convenience.

(b) In Jefferson County, the mayor of any city in the county may designate a city officer or his or her agents and employees, to issue motor vehicle registrations, to include the issuance of license plates and decals. In the case of the initial registration or change in the ownership of a motor vehicle, the designated city officer, or his or her agents or employees, may only issue a motor vehicle license plate or decal if a new Alabama title application has been completed for the applicable motor vehicle by a designated agent of the Department of Revenue. The designated city officer, or his or her agents or employees, may only issue motor vehicle registrations for a resident of the city. The designated city officer, or his or her agents or employees, shall collect the registration fees and taxes on the vehicle or boat and remit the registration fees and taxes in the same manner as the county license plate issuing official. In addition, the city license plate issuing official, or his or her agents or employees, shall collect the same issuance fees as provided for the county license plate issuing official, which fees shall be retained by the city and credited to the city general fund. In addition, the city may levy and collect an additional issuance fee as provided in subsection (c). The city shall also deduct and retain in the city general fund all commissions on the assessment and collection of ad valorem taxes in the same manner as the county license issuing official, except that the calculation of commissions for assessments and collections of taxes on motor vehicles for the General Fund of the state and the general fund of the county shall be at a rate of one percent for assessments and one percent for collections. The city shall be audited by the Department of Examiners of Public Accounts related to the issuance of motor vehicle registrations pursuant to this section. The city shall be responsible for any shortages as determined by the audit. The designated city officer shall be bonded by a bonding company authorized to do business in this state in such sums sufficient to cover the amounts set out in Section 12-13-33 for judges of probate. The bond shall be conditioned as other official bonds are conditioned and shall be approved by the mayor and the city council of the city.

(c) The city council of a city that issues motor vehicle or boat registrations, or both, pursuant to this section may levy an annual additional issuance fee, not to exceed five dollars ($5), for each motor vehicle or boat registration issued by the designated city officer, and his or her agents or employees. The annual additional fee authorized by this section shall become due at the same time the state registration fee becomes due. The annual additional fee shall not be collected more than once per vehicle during a registration year. The local issuance fee collected pursuant to this subsection shall be deposited into the general fund of the city levying the fee and shall be used for the operation of the city license plate issuing official’s office.

(d) The provisions of this section are supplemental and shall not affect any existing law except as needed to implement this section.
