Any member of the police or fire department found guilty by the legislative body
of any charge, as provided by KRS 95.450, may appeal to the Circuit Court of
the county in which the city or urban-county government is located, but the
enforcement of the judgment of the body shall not be suspended pending
appeal. The notice of the appeal shall be filed not later than thirty (30) days
after the date the legislative body makes its determination on the charge.
Upon request of the accused, the clerk of the legislative body shall file a
certified copy of the charges and the judgment of that body in the Circuit Court.
Upon the transcript being filed, the case shall be docketed in the Circuit Court
and tried as an original action.
If the clerk fails to certify the transcript to the Circuit Court within seven (7)
days after the request is made, the party aggrieved may file an affidavit in the
Circuit Court setting out as fully as possible the charges made, the time of the
hearing, and the judgment of the legislative body, together with a statement
that demand for transcript was made upon the clerk more than five (5) days
before the filing of the affidavit. Upon the filing of the affidavit in the Circuit
Court, the case shall be docketed, and the Circuit Court may compel the filing
of the transcript by the clerk by entering the proper mandatory order, and by
fine and imprisonment for contempt. The appeal shall have precedence over
other business, and be determined speedily.
An appeal will lie from the judgment of the Circuit Court to the Court of Appeals
as in other cases.
