Text

(a) The commission shall adopt rules for
determining a performance rating. The rules must require that a
performance rating be made at least once every six (6) months for each
member of the department, including probationary members. The
rating shall be made by one (1) or more of the member's superiors, as
defined in the commission's rules. Probationary members shall be rated
in the same manner as other members of the department. The ratings
shall be submitted to the chief of the department and kept on file in the
chief's office under the chief's supervision. The chief shall notify each
member in writing of the rating that the member received.
(b) A member who is aggrieved with the performance rating given
to the member by the member's superior may appeal to the commission
for a review of the rating. The appeal must be filed within ten (10) days
after notice of the rating has been sent to the member. The commission
shall either affirm or correct the rating.
