前萨克拉曼多消防局长加里·洛斯（Gary Loesch）周二提出了对城市的信号的要求preparing to sue over his terminationand alleging top officials deliberately exposed him to COVID-19 after he appealed a disciplinary pay cut.
Sacramento (CA) Fire Chief Fired by City, Vows ‘Major Litigation’ after Exit
Loesch’s attorney, Eric Lindstrom, wrote that he is seeking $10 million in damages.
城市经理霍华德·陈（Howard Chan）上周从他的职位领导消防部门的职位上解雇了洛斯（Loesch）。
该索赔声称，洛施的解雇部分部分是由于陈试图在两次事件中对消防队长进行纪律处分：
- a 2019 Halloween party that Loesch attended in a pimp costume
- and, an employee’s workplace retaliation complaint.
这封信说，Chan在2020年1月试图停靠Loesch对这些事件的付款。洛斯（Loesch）在行政法院向这项学科提出了质疑，行政法法官在4月与洛斯（Loesch）齐头并进。
声称说：“在听证会之前，城市经理告诉洛斯酋长，证据是反对他的，他应该‘抓住他的肿块，让我们继续前进。”“在听证会上，城市经理承认，‘我们今天在这里对我来说非常令人讨厌……今天我在这里非常非常沮丧。’”
The city declined comment on the claim because the city does not comment on personnel matters, city spokesman Tim Swanson said in an email.
Loesch as fire chief was a member of the city’s executive team, meaning he was an at-will employee who generally could be terminated at the city manager’s discretion.
But California law givesspecial employment protection to firefighters，包括部门负责人。结果，纽约市有义务列出洛斯被解雇的原因。
萨克拉曼多·比（Sacramento Bee）获得的洛斯（Loesch）的一页终止通知，引用了：“管理风格与城市经理的不兼容；未能执行萨克拉曼多市和城市经理的使命，目标，目标和政策；未能在消防部门培养同质和包容的工作环境和文化；以及未能正确解决城市雇员纪律的调查和实施。”
Lindstrom alleged Loesch’s firing was linked to the administrative judge siding with Loesch.
“任何'不兼容'问题显然都不足以终止，直到城市经理对城市经理是否有可能训练洛斯施的行政听证会感到尴尬和愤怒。
Loesch also claims Chan tried to expose him to COVID-19 during the meeting where Chan dismissed Loesch.
索赔说，周四，洛斯计划与助理城市经理莱恩·米尔斯坦（Leyne Milstein）会面，讨论部门问题。
Upon arriving, he saw Milstein wearing a face mask. He asked her whether he should go to his vehicle to get his mask, and she said he did not need one. Chan then followed him into the office, wearing a mask, the claim said.
“Standing very close to Chief Loesch, the city manager explained he would not be removing his mask because he had COVID-19,” the claim said. “This shocked Chief Loesch given the exchange he had just had with Ms. Milstein.”
The letter does not say when Chan contracted COVID-19 or whether Chan was believed to be contagious.
Chan fired Loesch, then left, and Loesch also left, the claim said. After that, the department’s deputy chiefs came in to Milstein’s office, and Milstein’s assistant handed them N-95 masks, the claim said.
The city hired Loesch from the Philadelphia fire department in fall 2018. Loesch has been a firefighter for 36 years, is one of only 160 people in the country to have graduated from the Fire Service Executive Development Institute, the claim said.
