INTRODUCTION AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY

The City of Gloucester (\”The City\”) filed a Complaint seeking removal of Paul Kain (\”Kain\”), Registered Municipal Clerk of The City with the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs (\”NJDCA\”), Division of Local Government Services on December 9, 2009 due to his chronic and excessive absenteeism and his failure to return from a medical leave and leave of absence. See Exhibit P-1.

John Redican, a patrol officer with the LAPD’s Newton Division, agreed.
