However, the facts remain that he was demoted from Maintenance Man II to custodian. On July 23, 1969, Mr. Thompson received notification that he’ was being terminated as an employe of the Nevada General Hospital. -"The Grievance Committee recommends that Mr. Thompson be reinstated as of July 23, 1969, to the position of custodian, We feel that the loss of pay, the demotion, and the suspension, was sufficient punishment.

Chairman Lou Hartman said tnat he already checked with county counsel and that it was impossible to reinstate pay lost. He also said that Thompson could not be placed anywhere but the hospital. Supervisor William Thomas questioned the ruling on pay for Thompson during the time. County Counsel Leo Todd said "it is not a civil service or private firm employment and the board in fact would be rendering a gift for services not rendered if Thompson was paid for the absent time." Supervisor Willie Curran moved that Thompson be rehired as -of Aug. 13. The vote passed 3-2 with Supervisors Ralph Buchanan and Dean Lawrence voting no. Buchanan said he voted no "because being on the hospital committee he had heard a great deal about the matter. "The supervisors should have more than a letter from the Grievance Committee to weigh the evidence." Hartman pointed out that it was the Grievance Committee's function to weigh evidence. Curran said “in-that case the supervisors should be given the job of Grievance Committee. I'm sure that they brought things out that you wouldn't want to bring out at this meeting." Mrs, Lawrence said "the employes' minutes show former hospital administrator Richard Kuhwarth was taking steps to terminate Thompson's employment, which means three administrator in a row took this step.
