Scott Luna Had a Clear Conflict of Interest in Negotiating Schrieks’ Lifetime Health Benefits Being His Father is the Only Other Identified Former Employee Stealing Lifetime Benefits Without 25 Years of Lodi Employment or Contractual Obligations. And Nobody Would Believe that Schrieks' 'Retirement' Was Voluntary, Mutual, and Amicable After Reading the Terms of the Agreement. It Appears to be All About Extortion and Bribes.

Link to Marc Schrieks’ separation agreement with Scott Luna initialing every page and signing on behalf of Lodi weeks before it was approved by the Lodi council:

If Marc Schrieks' “retirement” was voluntary and amicable, why didn’t any of PRIDE’s past borough managers need a “separation agreement”? I couldn't find any for Vincent Caruso, Bruce Masopust, or Tony Luna.

If it was voluntary and amicable, why is the Lodi mayor and council paying Schrieks so much additional money including “a brand-new, enhanced payout to which Employee would not otherwise be contractually or legally entitled under any provision of the Existing Employment Agreement”?

If there is nothing illegal or dishonest about this agreement, why did all parties want it kept from the public?

This agreement sounds like Marc Schrieks told Scott Luna that he gave Scott’s father unearned lifetime health benefits and demanded the same for himself(extortion). It sounds like Marc Schrieks threatened to sue if he didn’t get special, new, unearned payments for himself.  It sounds like the Lodi Mayor and Council bribed Marc to go away quietly, using Lodi tax dollars at the exact time they were raising municipal taxes 11.2%.

If Marc Schrieks is receiving so much more than he is entitled under his employee labor agreement to avoid litigation and disparagement, why are the Lodi taxpayers paying and not an insurance carrier?

Can either party to the agreement answer any of these questions?
