Subject:Item #30- Gominsky
Council and Mayor…As you consider the two resolutions with regards to Item #30 tonight, I wanted to let you know that
I am fully supportive of both resolutions. I have come to know Mr. Gominsky from a distance in his work with SAPD and
me trying to do the best I can in helping those who may be living on the streets. Whether it is seeing Mr. Gominsky in
Judge Carter’s office, interacting with him at neighborhood informational meetings, or listening to him at council
meetings, it is apparent that Mr. Gominsky is a resource that our city needs at this time. Having his experience and
relationships he has formed both with those on the streets and those who are able to offer help just walk out the door
would be a great loss when we have the ability to keep him on board specifically to help those struggling on the
streets. This is especially true when he will not be carrying a badge but still cares for those in our community. Please
approve these items this evening as suggested by staff so that he may get to work right away- although my gut tells me
his mind has not stopped working even after he officially retired. I believe tonight may be a lengthy meeting but please
do not continue this item for another 2 weeks as it sounds like the City Manager’s office would like to get working with
Mr. Gominsky ASAP and time is of the essence.
On a secondary note…I often have heard that it is virtually impossible to bring back retired PD due to CalPERS issues for
a Park Ranger program. I do not fully understand the intricacies of rehiring CalPERS retirees, which seem to be
addressed a bit in the staff report, but I would urge you to explore a Parks Ranger program.
Thanks for looking out for our city.
