October 7, 2011 Hand Delivered Sharon Sweet 65222 Hunnell Rd. Bend, OR 97701 Dear Sharon: I regret to inform you that the .75 FTE District Attorney Investigator position is being eliminated effective October 7, 2011. Your employment with the Deschutes County District Attorney’s Office will therefore end at 5:00 p.m. on October 7, 2011. If you have any district attorney records that are not currently in the office (e.g. at another county department or at your home office), please return the same to the DA’s Office by 9:00 a.m. on October 10, 2011. Do not retain, delete, copy, remove, publish or disseminate any district attorney records which include but are not limited to any paper records (e.g. notes, letters, reports, photographs, diagrams) and electronically stored information like email, voicemail, audio/video recordings, digital photographs, and so on. We will arrange to inventory property that you have secured in the evidence room on the 4 floor, some of which I understand is evidence relating to investigations you have conducted for county counsel and will need to be returned to county counsel or his designee. th
Remove any investigative material relating to investigations you have conducted for county counsel from the safe in your office and return the same to county counsel or his designee. Leave the key to the safe along with your district attorney identification and key card along with any other property related to your work as DA Investigator on your desk. You should address any questions regarding your continued employment as an investigator for county counsel to county counsel. All other questions should be addressed to the Personnel Department. I have authorized the county to provide you with 30 days severance pay. Sincerely,
Patrick J. Flaherty
