CLAY — The City of Clay’s personnel board held a hearing Thursday night to determine whether the city had just cause to terminate a former employee. The hearing lasted more than two hours at Clay City Hall.
Sherry Satterlee claims she was wrongfully terminated by the City of Clay, but the personnel board denied her request for reinstatement at the hearing. Testimony was heard from a number of city employees including City Manager Ronnie Dixon, who terminated Satterlee, and other members of the department in which Satterlee worked.
Satterlee, along with her attorney, gave a lengthy testimony, as did Dixon.
Dixon charged that Satterlee was terminated with cause for a number of reasons. A number of accusations were made against Satterlee in the hearing, with Satterlee denying many of the allegations.
She said she believed she was terminated after coming forward and claiming to have been sexually harassed by a coworker.
