City Council Can Call Off Kamikaze Mission

Kamikaze Pilot On Suicide Mission

Actions You Can Take To Help

• Sign a petition, keep reading for a link to download form
• Contact Council Members and ask them to listen to the independent investigators findings
• Come to the next Council Meeting, Monday December 14, 2009, 7PM

The Sunnyside City Council can call off the Kamikaze mission to take out city employees.  All that is needed is for them to be willing to hear all of the evidence, so that smart decisions can be made regarding personnel.

If the standards of behavior being questioned in regards to Pam Sandifer and Terri Rhode are applied to all City employees, how many would we have left working at City Hall?

The Sandifer/Rhode situation would not have come to this point, were it not for the City’s negligence in handling the hostile work investigations to this point.  The Mayor can rectify this situation by calling for a Special Meeting Executive Session to hear what the investigators have to say.

As mentioned in a previous post, five City employees asked the mayor to see the investigation through to the end back in July of this year, in a letter:

letter-to-mayor-hostile-work-investigation

In addition, all it would take is for three Council Members to call for a Special Meeting, in order for one to take place.  Either the Mayor by himself, or three Council Members can make this happen.

Please download the petition asking Council to hear the investigators’ findings here:

petition sandifer rhode

I will present signed petitions to the Mayor at the next meeting of the City Council, Monday December 14, at 7:00PM.  Please sign the petition, and come to the meeting.

Contact your representatives and let them know you want them to hear what the investigators have to say before employees are disciplined or terminated.
