Tulelake News

Tulelake, CA— As the world turns continues

During the special meeting at 5:00 PM this evening today the city of Tulelake city council approved the purchase of the Boyd Property with the entire council voting in the affirmative for that purchase.

Then the city council went onto the second closed session of the evening for the new employment contract for the Chief of Police, Tony Ross.

At tonight’s meeting the only candidate that took time to show up was Hank, the other two candidates Richard and Kevin were no where to be found. The regular groupies were present waiting for the out come of tonight’s meeting.

The Chief of Police, Tony Ross claimed that Mr. Garland mentioned on his blog about some non-negotiable items in the next city of Tulelake contract for his employment. Tony Ross even asked Mr. Garland if he had mentioned anything about that on his blog and Mr. Garland response was, “I have no idea what you are talking about”.

Tony Ross then went on to threaten the city council with a 30-day notification on the violation of the Brown Act and he also referred to labor law violations.

Typical for this Chief of Police to deflect what his daughter said and made accusations at the meeting before last in order to once again put the heat on Mr. Garland and take it away from his daughter Amber where she accused the Administrative Clerk of being a co-conspirator.

When in fact at last nights meeting Council member Bob Hughbanks admitted he was the one that asked Jenny to write up the information and put it in all the council members boxes. Where Amber accused Jenny insulating it was Mr. Garland who wrote the memo

Tony Ross also made an error as before he can make his claim he needed to give the city council at least 24 hour notice that he was making such a threat and violation by the very laws of the Brown Act and the labor laws Mr. Ross was referring he was giving notice of to the council on. He needed to make that claim in writing first, not verbally as he did at last nights meeting according to the very laws Mr. Ross referred to at the meeting on record at last nights meeting.

Mr. Ross made accusations without any written proof presented before or during to the council or Mr. Garland as to where Mr. Garland was suppose to have stated in general terms that there were non-negotiable items in the next contract between the city of Tulelake and Mr. Ross.

Mr. Ross again failed to mention what those items were and where Mr. Garland mentioned on his blog what those items were, which is a general statement that means absolutely nothing in a court of law without the exact items being pointed out and what they were. Where Mr. Garland did or said no such thing as far as he can recall even making the general statement less well any specific ones as implied by Mr. Ross at last night special meeting at the Tulelake City Council meeting according to the shield laws for journalist according to the first amendment.
