Steve Hargis

[Felix]

In 2007, Steve Hargis, long-time codes enforcement and administrator in the City Neighborhood Services department, was accused of theft from the city by way of vouchers he signed.

In the Chattanoogan today, there is a story on the dismissal of charges against Hargis. I had many dealings with Steve over a number of years, and always found it incredible that theft charges could be levied against him. I am very glad he has been cleared.

In my opinion, he was a hard-working, smart and dedicated city employee. I wish him well in his effort to reclaim the job he performed so ably.

I've lost track of Steve since I "went out of the business" in the mid-80's; I found him to be fair, upright, pleasant but never one to "look for an edge" or to benefit by virtue of his position.

As for some others....

Felix voices my thoughts precisely... I will be proud to see Steve come out on top of this. He is a good man and dedicated employee.
