14.1 Public Employee Appointment Pursuant to Government Code Section 54957(b) Public Comments
Michael Choi
The City Council should adopt a policy on how they hire employees for all positions. There is a clear lack of transparency.
Staff
https://laprensa.org/cv-moves-hire-city-manager-secret-meeting
The International City/County Management Association, a nonprofit that advocates best practices for local governments, recommends that cities “prepare and place advertisements in publications that will attract the most qualified candidates.”
Most cities hire outside firms to conduct nationwide searches to attract a wide range of candidates for consideration even if an internal candidate applies for the position.
The City of Chula Vista did not publicize the upcoming vacancy.
The City Council voted unanimously to choice Allen, who has worked for the City for over 20 years, although she has been the subject of multiple complaints of creating a toxic work environment.
Staffers have complained that Allen is part of a “mean girls club” that includes Kachadoorian, Allen, and Assistant City Manager Courtney Chase, who have been accused of playing favorites, retaliating against subordinates, discriminating against men, and leaving staff with a sense of fear for their jobs.
