Three of them were fired, and three resigned and all were accused of taking care of tickets for friends and family.
Four of those employees worked for the Bureau of Administration Adjudication, and the other two worked for the Parking Authority.
Philadelphia Inspector General Amy Kurland found that the finance deputy director in charge of the BAA provided a lack of supervision without rules or policies to prevent ticket fixing.
"Citizens who wish to dispute their parking violations have the right to expect a fair hearing," said Kurland in a statement. "They deserve to be heard by impartial and well-trained individuals who are ethically and technically knowledgeable. The investigation establishes that this is not the case."
According to a report released by the Inspector General, Clorise Wynn, then the Finance Deputy Director in charge of the BAA's day-to-day operations, provided poor oversight of parking-violation hearing examiners and failed to implement a policy prohibiting ticket-fixing for friends and family of PPA and BAA employees.
The OIG investigation found that Wynn had dismissed hundreds of parking tickets for friends and 35 for her daughter. Wynn resigned before the OIG released its report.
The investigation also found that Joanna Schofield, a BAA supervisor who retired before the OIG released its report, provided extremely poor oversight to hearing examiners.
In addition to letting go of Wynn and Schofield, Dubow dismissed hearing examiners Yvette Garcia and Denean Hardy, as recommended by the OIG.
The OIG heeded the office's recommendation to fire Reginald Bass-Reid, who had dozens of tickets improperly dismissed by BAA hearing examiners.
Robin Bass, who was also implicated in the report, retired before she could be terminated.
Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter said their actions shouldn't reflect on government workers as a whole.
"A handful, a very small few government employees who do wrong tarnish the good name of thousands and thousands and thousands of high-quality public employees," Mayor Nutter said.
The report recommends training for BAA hearing examiners who improperly dismissed tickets because of poor supervision. It also recommends that the BAA develop clear policies and procedures for hearing examiners, including policies for holding hearings for friends, family and coworkers.
