Columbia Police officer appeals to the city manager ordinance (§ 19-254)

If the officer was not suspended without pay, demoted, terminated, transferred, or placed on a status resulting in economic loss, as that term is defined in RSMo § 590.502, the police officer may appeal the police chief's decision to the city manager. The appeal shall be made by filing a written statement with the city manager setting forth the officer's reasons for appeal. The request must be filed within ten (10) days after the officer was given notice of the right to appeal. The city manager shall give notice of the appeal to the complainant and afford the complainant the opportunity to discuss the matter with the city manager. The city manager may act on the appeal as the manager deems appropriate.
