In a web posting recounting the Pasadena events, the League denies only that it has solicited money so far. The cost of any litigation will be borne by the League s reserves, unless the Board decides a fund solicitation is needed as the litigation proceeds . The League has also backed away from its September 15 declaration that the League s board had approved invitations to cities, counties and other potential co-plaintiffs. On its most recent Update on SB 402 Litigation , the League mentions that two charter cities and a general law city have stepped forward to join the lawsuit. We re informed the two charter contestants are Pasadena and Sunnyvale.
Corona is the general law city.
Interestingly, the attorneys for these three cities are all members of a special committee of city attorneys empowered to assist the League. If you re a firefighter or peace officer in any of these cities, please keep an eye on your city council agendas . Taking the High Road. If you re the one on the negotiating hot seat at contract time, keep in mind CPF s upcoming two-day seminar, Driving the Arbitration Superhighway, scheduled for November 28 and 29 in Huntington Beach.
