Closed session gems
There are several interesting closed session items slated for tonight's Baldwin Park City Council meeting. They may peak your interest as much as they peaked mine:
RECESS TO CLOSED SESSION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
A)CONFERENCE WITH LABOR NEGOTIATOR (GC §54957.6)
Agency Negotiators: Vijay Singhal, Chief Executive Officer; Richard Kreisler and other representatives as designated
Employee Organizations: SEIU, Clerical; Professional and Technical Employees; Police Management Employees; Confidential Employees; Baldwin Park Police Officer's Association and General Management Employees
****Months after heated contract negotiations with BP police officers ended on a somewhat sour note, the city and police are at it again. Wonder how many rounds this bout will go for?
B)CONFERENCE WITH REAL PROPERTY NEGOTIATOR (GC §54956.8)
Property: 3200 Puente Avenue City Negotiators: Vijay Singhal and Joseph Pannone Negotiating party: Home Depot Legal Department Under negotiation: Terms and conditions of a lease of real property
*************Hmmm, the city negotiating with Home Depot over a lease property? My gut tells me this is related to a day laborer center on the Home Depot lot.
D)PUBLIC EMPLOYEE APPOINTMENT (GC §54957)
Title: Chief of Police
**************This looks like a status update on contract negotiations with El Monte police Lt. Ken Alva for police chief, which I hear may be hitting a snag over salary figures.
