pool ponderings

What has the City Attorney done regarding the legal status and proceedings in the taping incident? Where does that stand currently? What was his legal opinion of THAT situation and the basis behind that opinion? What steps need to be taken, or has he recommended be taken, to prevent any legal liabilities to the City in the future? Any? If he hasn’t made ANY changes or suggestions for the future, does that mean he feels that taping people’s conversations without their knowledge or approval is legally and ethically okay? Is it his legal opinion that taping city employees without their knowledge or approval is okay? What changes in city policies has he recommended to avoid having this situation arise again, if any? If none, why not? What has he done to resolve and remedy the current situation? What legal suggestions to the Mayor and Council has he made regarding this situation and others with the same potential legal liability? Any? Response? IF it is the City Attorney’s legal opinion that handshakes are a legally defensible and enforceable means of doing City business, what legal steps would he suggest to the Mayor and Council to enforce said handshake agreement with MDAC and any of the other schools into payments of pool rents that appear to be, from recent research, very possibly seriously in arrears? Again, a ledger sheet was provided that suggested that several payments had been made by various entities, but there no deposit slips or bank statements to confirm those claims. And there has been NO explanation regarding what accounts to which the possible deposits were deposited or why some were noted on the daily admission sheets at times, and were nowhere to be seen on most of those sheets.
