Quincey's fate at stake
UPLAND - A confidential memorandum sent to city officials last month appears to give the City Council reason to terminate City Manager Robb Quincey with cause.
The memorandum, sent by City Attorney William Curley on April 15 to the City Council and Interim City Manager Stephen Dunn, describes how Quincey appeared to violate council commands in settling a dispute with an Upland police sergeant in January 2010.
Quincey has been on paid leave of absence since Jan. 4. The City Council will discuss Quincey's employment status during a special closed session today.
For Quincey to be terminated with cause, he would need to be convicted of a crime or to fail to follow City Council direction, according to his employment contract. He has not been charged with a crime.
According to the memorandum, Quincey received a draft copy of a tort claim from the Upland Police Association's attorney, Dieter Dammeier, on behalf of Sgt. John Moore.
Moore alleged he was passed over for a promotion because he had investigated a domestic incident with Quincey and an ex-fiancee in July 2008.
