Discussion and Possible Action Re: Authorizing Interim Fire Chief to seek an injunction against workplace harassment against a resident of Golden Valley Fire District for the benefit of administrative personnel.

Chief Barboa explained this was about an ex-employee, Trish Ford, coming into the Administrative office on August 14th around 4:00 p.m. to pick up materials she had requested previously. As she came in she expressed her concerns (using foul language) about her name and address being posted on the agenda which has been our policy for the past year according to the County Attorney’s office. She then proceeded to use foul language waving her arms and pointing toward B.J. Kasso, our office manager. Chief Barboa informed the members of the board that statements regarding the incident had been submitted ty the personnel who were present at the time of the occurrence, and that he and the County Attorney felt that there were grounds to seek an injunction against workplace harassment against Trish Ford.
