mayor, the city has settled for $60,000 in taxpayer dollars, the lawsuit
brought by an individual against the roseville police department in 2014. since
the lawyer fees will be reported to the council via something called a "payment
of claims" list, i doubt if taxpayers will learn how much they will be paying
in lawyer fees for this suit.
even though the city council and staff have been promoting transparency and
civic engagement the last few months, i have been informed by city staff that
they will not be making any further announcements concerning this settlement
via the city website or any other means, beyond the statement made by the mayor
concerning this matter. since not every roseville resident was probably
watching last week's council meeting, i thought i would pass this information
along via this forum.
