Correction: A closer reading of the complaint reveals that Kapler is in fact claiming $4 million in damages – $2 million for general damages to his reputation and $2 million in special damages. See items 81 and 82 in the claim, below. On April 14th, former Alameda Fire Chief David Kapler filed a lawsuit against the City of Alameda, and others, for wrongful termination, breach of contract, defamation and other causes, over his dismissal from the City of Alameda late last year. In his complaint, among other allegations, Kapler alleges that Alameda City Councilmember Lena Tam “conspired with members of the firefighter’s union to wrongfully” terminate him. He further alleges that Lena Tam attempted to coerce then-Interim City Manager Ann Marie Gallant to terminate him without good cause. Kapler is claiming Roughly 75 people turned out last night at the Auctions by the Bay Theater at Alameda Point, to see thirteen Alameda City Council and Mayoral candidates, who are vying for three seats, participate in a forum sponsored by the Alameda Architectural Preservation Society. By Erica Madison “These kinds of permits are less thirty percent of the permits you issue” said Councilmember Frank Matarrese, “These aren’t the things I hear people complaining about.” By Erica Madison Good news for the park and facility master plan. By Erica Madison The purpose of the special Alameda City Council meeting on September 9, 2010 was to ultimately determine if the City of Alameda should bring a civil suit against Councilmember Lena Tam. By Erica Madison Councilmember Lena Tam spoke on her behalf to the public at a recent special Alameda City council meeting, in which she called the District Attorney’s investigation exhaustive. By Erica Madison The fact that the District Attorney has decided not to proceed with an investigation into allegations against Lena Tam doesn’t mean that the City Manager and City Attorney did anything wrong, said Mayor Beverly Johnson at the special Alameda City Council meeting on September 9th. In a letter dated August 2nd, Daniel Woldesenbet, Alameda County’s Director of Public Works, refuted claims made by the City of Alameda about the negative affects of the County’s proposal to reduce staffing on the bridges between Alameda and Oakland. Dear Editor, I was among the many Alameda residents who attended the city council meeting last Tuesday, July 20, to urge the council to reject SunCal’s Optional Entitlement Application (OEA) and refuse to extend SunCal’s Exclusive Negotiation Agreement (ENA). The ENA was to expire on July 20th and the recent application included a plan that was substantially similar to what 85 percent of Alameda residents voted against last February. It called for 5,000 residential units, as did the defeated proposal, and now includes an even larger commercial component, with a proposed 4.6 million square feet of commercial buildings. |
