Sources say Orange County District Attorney’s Office has yet to interview key witnesses in the property swap investigation, which both a city investigative report and former FBI agent say is crucial.
Mayor Miguel Pulido is trying to bring back the controversial former deputy city manager as a volunteer worker, Voice of OC has learned.
Over the past five years, many high-level employees in Orange County government have reaped six-figure sick and vacation leave payouts. “This is not something we intended to become a practice,” says a state senator.
Council members will pay top dollar to David Cavazos, the city manager of Phoenix, and say his stewardship will be a “game changer.”
David Cavazos would be among the highest paid in the state. The council members likely violated the Brown Act when deciding to make the offer.
When the former Santa Ana city manager retired he was thought to have cashed out $230,000 in unused time off. New information puts the figure nearly 60 percent higher.
An inspector received a $185,000 cash payout, partially by accumulating 1,000 hours more than the vacation accrual limit.
Councilwoman Michele Martinez proposes six two-year terms for the mayor’s office and limiting the current mayor to only one more term.
Will Carlos Bustamante show up? What will be the reaction to the latest effort to keep Claudia Alvarez in office? Will Miguel Pulido face a term limit? Those questions and more could be answered Monday night.
Council members will consider a ballot measure that could place a limit on longtime Mayor Miguel Pulido’s time in office.
