Subject: Settlement of Randy Hom Tort Claim
Dear City Council,
am writing to express concern that the council is considering a settlement of the tort claim filed by Randy Hom. I
believe that Mr. Hom's claim lacks merit, in that his termination was lawful and did not violate any employment
laws.
As an attorney, I have handled public entity claims in the past. I believe that Mr. Hom violated his duty of loyalty and
the attorney client privilege when he publicly discussed privileged communications that he had with the city council
about the SB50 application to redevelop the Vallco mall property.
In addition, Mr. Hom filed this claim, just before the election, a move designed to sway a close election. A settlement
would appear to be compensation to Mr. Hom for having swayed the election in favor of the current city council
members.
I urge Mr. Willey, Mr. Chao, and Mr. Paul to recuse themselves from the issue of settling the Randy Hom tort claim
issue.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Ian Greensides
