Orozco, Norma From: Tim Johnson <tjohnson@jlkrllp.com> Sent: Tuesday, September 21, 2021 8:40 AM To: Hernandez, Johnathan; Sarmiento, Vicente; Penaloza, David; Mendoza, Nelida; Lopez, Jessie; Bacerra, Phil; Phan, Thai; eComment Subject: Item #30- Gominsky Council and Mayor ... As you consider the two resolutions with regards to Item #30 tonight, I wanted to let you know that I am fully supportive of both resolutions. I have come to know Mr. Gominsky from a distance in his work with SAPID and 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 Judge Carter's office, interacting with him at neighborhood informational meetings, or listening to him at council meetings, it is apparent that Mr. Gominsky is a resource that our city needs at this time. Having his experience and relationships he has formed both with those on the streets and those who are able to offer help just walk out the door would be a great loss when we have the ability to keep him on board specifically to help those struggling on the streets. This is especially true when he will not be carrying a badge but still cares for those in our community. Please approve these items this evening as suggested by staff so that he may get to work right away- although my gut tells me his mind has not stopped working even after he officially retired. I believe tonight may be a lengthy meeting but please do not continue this item for another 2 weeks as it sounds like the City Manager's office would like to get working with Mr. Gominsky ASAP and time is of the essence. On a secondary note...) often have heard that it is virtually impossible to bring back retired PD due to CalPERS issues for a Park Ranger program. I do not fully understand the intricacies of rehiring CalPERS retirees, which seem to be addressed a bit in the staff report, but I would urge you to explore a Parks Ranger program. Thanks for looking out for our city.
