<br />Orozco, Norma <br />From:Tim Johnson <tjohnson@jlkrllp.com> <br />Sent:Tuesday, September 21, 2021 8:40 AM <br />To:Hernandez, Johnathan; Sarmiento, Vicente; Penaloza, David; Mendoza, Nelida; Lopez, <br />Jessie; Bacerra, Phil; Phan, Thai; eComment <br />Subject:Item #30- Gominsky <br />Council and Mayor…As you consider the two resolutions with regards to Item #30 tonight, I wanted to let you know that <br />I am fully supportive of both resolutions. I have come to know Mr. Gominsky from a distance in his work with SAPD and <br />me trying to do the best I can in helping those who may be living on the streets. Whether it is seeing Mr. Gominsky in <br />Judge Carter’s office, interacting with him at neighborhood informational meetings, or listening to him at council <br />meetings, it is apparent that Mr. Gominsky is a resource that our city needs at this time. Having his experience and <br />relationships he has formed both with those on the streets and those who are able to offer help just walk out the door <br />would be a great loss when we have the ability to keep him on board specifically to help those struggling on the <br />streets. This is especially true when he will not be carrying a badge but still cares for those in our community. Please <br />approve these items this evening as suggested by staff so that he may get to work right away- although my gut tells me <br />his mind has not stopped working even after he officially retired. I believe tonight may be a lengthy meeting but please <br />do not continue this item for another 2 weeks as it sounds like the City Manager’s office would like to get working with <br />Mr. Gominsky ASAP and time is of the essence. <br /> <br />On a secondary note…I often have heard that it is virtually impossible to bring back retired PD due to CalPERS issues for <br />a Park Ranger program. I do not fully understand the intricacies of rehiring CalPERS retirees, which seem to be <br />addressed a bit in the staff report, but I would urge you to explore a Parks Ranger program. <br /> <br />Thanks for looking out for our city. <br /> <br />Tim Johnson <br />Ward 3 Resident <br /> <br />Tim Johnson , CPA <br /> <br />Partner <br /> <br /> <br />(949) 860-9892 <br /> <br /> <br />(714) 743-1065 <br /> <br />tjohnson@jlkrllp.com <br /> <br /> <br />2601 Main Street, Suite 580, Irvine, CA 92614 <br /> <br />See our latest business news and insights by clicking here <br /> <br /> <br />This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and is <br />protected by law.
