Progressive Corrective Action. (A) For all charges other than insubordination, the principles of corrective action will be followed with respect to conduct, which is not a specific violation of law. However, the charge of insubordination will only be used when no lesser charge is otherwise applicable to the conduct considered insubordinate. (B) The application of progressive discipline shall include an oral reprimand before a written reprimand, a written reprimand before a suspension and a suspension before removal for the same or related offenses. (C) If the offense is of a serious nature, the Fire Chief or Safety Director may suspend progressive corrective action and determine the appropriate level of discipline. (1) A serious nature shall be defined as any act of error or omission that can result in legal ramifications to the City, or acts that unduly place lives in imminent danger
