City Attorney Flandrick stated that on several occasions in the recent past when the City Council has had occassion to have Closed Session in reference to personnel matters in conjunction with the Police Chief, Richard Hoskin, certain problems have existed, with respect to the operations of that department, as a result of which the Chief has requested, and is currently on an Administrative Leave status, which he's entitled to do. It was his understanding that the Chief is now considering whether he wishes to resign, as one possible alternative, or whether he wishes to submit a request for retirement which is also a possibility. Because the matter is a personnel matter and because there is always the potential for litigation, it is his advice to the individual members of the City Council that they not discuss the matter of the Chief's current status or of any potential future action until such time as the Chief indicates to the City Council what his desires are and City Council has evaluated that in terms of their position as the people who oversee the operation of that department and thereafter in accordance with law, at an open session of the City Council, make a determination as to what should occur in the case. City Attorney Flandrick stressed the fact that there is always the potential for litigation in a circumstance involving the senior department head or senior official of the City. Out of caution he urged each member of the City Council not to discuss, with the press or anyone else, until such time as a final decision is made by the City Council and by the Chief. 00- BIB] 37175-U01 CC-U02 MIN-U02 OCT-U02 18-U02 1989-U02 LG1-U03 LI1-U03 FO3794-U03 FO3837-U03 FO3870-U03 DO3873-U03 C4-U03 MINUTES1-U03 10/11/2001-U04 ADMIN-U04 BIB] 37260-U01 1989-U02 10-U02 18-U02 CC-U02 MIN-U02 LG1-U03 LI1-U03 FO3794-U03 FO8598-U03 DO3873-U03 C4-U03 MINUTES1-U03 10/11/2001-U04 ADMIN-U04 CITY-U05 COUNCIL-U05 MINUTES-U05 1989 10 18 CC MINòw @˜vCC MIN OCT 18 1989à›[H3’8 REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 18, 1989 OF THE CITY OF BALDWIN PARK PAGE FIVE It was moved and seconded to adjourn the regular meeting of the City Council at 8:25 p.m. M/S/C: IZELL/MCNEILL.
