Whistleblower Hearing
Nevada Personnel Director Todd Rich says he’s investigating allegations of unprofessional conduct raised against state hearing officer Bill Kockenmeister. At the Personnel Commission’s quarterly meeting, former UNR soccer coach Terri Patraw accused Kockenmeister of unethical and unprofessional conduct, saying he allowed perjury during her hearing and used false testimony in his decision.
In another case, UNR police officer Lane Grow complained to the commission that the hearing officer violated the Open Meeting Law when he illegally closed part of a hearing after which Kockenmeister reinstated Kevin Youngflesh to the UNR police agency. A final determination on Kockenmeister's future with the Commission will be determined at the June 20th meeting.
