Above is from the February 16, 2016 meeting minutes (link
below).
Complaint:
Statement of Facts #3, Paragraph 1
1. Prior to the
vote to remove Trustee Carafa, Board President Miller was reminded that Trustee
Carafa’s father, Mayor Emil Carafa, is President Miller’s boss. In 2016, Mayor Carafa passed an ordinance
changing the “table of organization” of the Lodi police department so Mr.
Miller can be promoted to a newly created sergeant position. The promotion came just months after
President Miller was appointed to the Lodi Board of Education.
Answer
from Miller, Carafa, & Nardino
“Respondents deny the allegations of Paragraph 1,
except that they admit that Miller received a promotion in 2016, several months
after his appointment to the Board, following a proposal from the Chief of
Police to create two new sergeant positions.”
