Law Director feels the Charter <br />is abundantly clear with respect to the status of the person heading the Division of <br />Engineering. Charter specifically makes that position an unclassified oosition; <br />consequently there is no Civil Service protection. T4th respect to the second allega- <br />tion, only the department head is anpointed by the Mayor and requires the removal <br />procedure of going through Council. In li?ht of existing Charter provisions, Law <br />Director is going to move to dismiss the complaint. <br />2) Wednesday morning, in the Eip,hth Appellate District Court, wi11 be arguing the <br />Jandecka appeal with respect to the dog shooting incident. Jud;e 0'Donnell, in the <br />lower court, had ruled that Patrolma.n Jandecka had a right to shoot the dog on <br />Columbia Road because there is a statute in Ohio dealing with sheep and other animals, <br />saying that if a dog worries a sheep or people, a person has the right to shoot an <br />animal of this nature. Law Director feels this does not apply and will be arguing <br />this tomorrow morning in the Court of Appeals.
