CSJ EP032: SJ City Council and the Indictment of Mayor Ron G

Thu, 29 Jun 2006 09:36:23 -0700

In this special and historical moment in San Jose History, we present a recording of the June 28th 'Special Meeting' of the San Jose City Council. The purpose of this rare Special Meeting is to decide upon a course of action with respect to the recent indictment of current Mayor, Ron Gonzales. As always, the audio is being presented from a neutral point of view, and was recorded during the course of the City Council meeting. A bit of background - A Santa Clara County grand jury recently indicted Mayor Ron Gonzales on 6 felony counts including bribery, conspiracy and misuse of public funds in connection with a supposely 'secret deal' with garbage waste hauler Norcal Waste Systems to cover future payments not detailed in the original contract. This led to the Mayor to seek additional funds in the amount of ~$11Million a few years later.Others that were indicted were both Norcal Waste Systems and Gonzales' aide, Joe Guerra. At the arraignment hearing on Monday (06/26/06), all three did not enter a plea, but indicated they would ask the court to dismiss the charges.The City Council is expected to ask the Mayor to resign, and if not, seek to explore ways to restrict his power as Mayor, including removal of his staff, reduction in salary, and removal of additional perks that the Mayor currently has. As this is a long podcast, I have provided some markers: 00:00 - 42:50 Opening Statements and discussion 42:50 - ~1:10:00 Public Comments 1:10 - City Council DiscussionFinal Count: Motion to Resign by Cindy Chavez, Second by Chuck Reed In Favor Cindy Chavez Linda Lezotte Chuck Reed Ken Yeager Dave Cortese Judy Chirco Nora Campos Nancy Pyle Against Madison Nguyen Forest Williams Ron Gonzales Important links: What is San Jose Charter Section 405?City Council Agenda Memos Cindy Chavez Cindy Chavez #2 Chuck Reed Dave Cortese San Jose City Attorney Rick Doyle San Jose City Attorney Rick Doyle #2 What do YOU think of the Indictment of Ron Gonzales?

Obviously, it would have made for a better debate if she were there but these mixups happen especially in this busy election season, said the President of the Hyde Park NA. This debate was a little different than all the other formats. Moderator Scott Herhold , columnist for the Mercury News, had specific questions tailored for each candidate and each candidate was allowed to ask a direct question to each of the other candidates.

Sun, 29 May 2005 05:22:00 -0700

Welcome to Citizen San Jose! Turn up your speakers, buckle your seatbelt, and keep both hands on the steering wheel. CitizenSanJose's purpose is to be a PodCast that will provide citizens with the information necessary to participate in the politics, culture and entertainment offerings of the city of San Jose California. In the coming weeks and months ahead, we will be exploring the good, the bad, and everything in between of our quiet-yet-feisty city. Don't forget to subscribe to the Podcast via the RSS feeder at the bottom of the page. Please email any suggestions to CitizenSJ@gmail.com (include an mp3 file of your question for possible inclusion into a later Podcast). Additionally, you can leave us voicemail at 1-206-666-JOSE (5673) San Jose Background San Jose became in 1850 the first incorporated city in the US State of California, and served as its first state capital. It is the most populous city in Northern California, the third in the state (after Los Angeles and San Diego), and has just moved up to the 10th largest in the US. The city of San Jose stretches up to Mount Hamilton (4,372 feet), and so comprises a number of natural parks that contrast with its urban and suburban areas. It is an important business center as the self-proclaimed "Capital of the Silicon Valley", with homes to many corporations such as eBay, Apple, Cisco, Intel, and many others. [[libsyn_player]]
