OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
MEMORANDUM
September 6, 2013
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Alan Tandy, City Manager AT/al
SUBJECT: General Information
Good News
All of our firefighting personnel and medical unit leaders who had worked
alongside various other municipal, county and state forces to fight the Rim
Fire have returned safely home. We extend our sincere gratitude for their
efforts.
The Kings County Superior Court overruled the demurrer filed by the County
of Kern to our lawsuit for breach of contract/declaratory relief action
involving the Fire JPA. This was an attempt by the County to have our case
thrown out on grounds that the terms of the JPA contradicted the
allegations in our complaint. The Court disagreed; and in a thoroughly
written tentative decision, which became the Order of the Court, indicated
that contract terms can be “explained or supplemented by evidence of
course of dealing and course of performance”. Our lawsuit is moving
forward!
Miscellaneous News
The Oversight Board met today. They voted to support the City Council’s
position on the reinstatement of the loans made from the Motor Pool and
Risk Management. In theory, this was the last step in the process to get the
loans reinstated.
Reminder: All spray parks are now open on weekends only, from Noon to
7:00 p.m. This schedule will last through the end of September.
I will be out of the office next Thursday and Friday, September 12th and 13th.
Rhonda Smiley will be in charge in my absence, and she and the rest of the
staff in my office will be able to reach me, if need be.
