The City Council Meeting Tuesday, February 18, 2014 Closed Session Agenda ITEM NO. (6) Public Employee Performance Evaluation for the position of City Attorney states the Council will be evaluating the position of City Attorney in closed session; it is not clear what the intention is. 

 

When we asked city representatives to comment their response was:

"The best thing for you and others to do is to reach out to the Mayor and City Council Members, let them know of your concerns and to attend the meeting at 5:00 p.m. to speak before the start of the Closed Session or send your written statement to the city clerk."

 

Our City is functioning with an Acting City Manager, 40+ funded vacant positions, employees are holding multiple positions, and people are resigning.

 

We are dealing with critical issues such as the Carousel Residents being forced to live with contamination, The Boulevards, Occidental, the fence issue, unemployment in our city, and the possible abuse of power and misuse of taxpayer's funds. We have so many complex issues and for those reasons, we are urging no change be made in position the of City Attorney.  

 

What You Can Do

 

Call the Mayor and City Council; ask them to take Closed Session Agenda Item No. 6 off the table until the city is more equipped to deal with the citizens concerns and wellbeing.  And if a Closed Session decision is made to change attorneys, a transparent RFP process is conducted to select an attorney.  

 

You can express your opinion by attending the city council meeting 5:00 pm to speak during oral communications for closed session agenda items (it has been recommended people come early). You can also email the city clerk's office with your statement.
