Click on the link below to view the Mayor and Council’s “Best Practices Inventory” which was due to the State on October 20th:
This administration was required to make the checklist
an “agenda” item and discuss it at a public meeting. It has not appeared on any agenda. You can understand why. It was answered dishonestly.
This administration answered “No” four times. If this administration answered “No” five or
more times, Lodi would have been penalized by the State. To avoid penalty, this administration
submitted a checklist that is not accurate.
First, let’s review their admitted bad practices- the
four “No” answers.
#1: This administration admitted not filing all
current contracts with PERC, which is a State requirement.
#21
& #22: This administration has
done NOTHING to protect the Lodi taxpayers from $342,000 retirement payouts.
#24 This administration has not implemented the
State’s recommendations for “longevity” pay.
Second, let’s review some of this administration's dishonest answers.
#2: Does Lodi allow personal use of municipal vehicles?
Yes. From Donald Scorzetti’s 2017
contract:

contract and receives 12% longevity pay.
