Oravec's response: 'If they want to go to court, I hope to meet them there as soon as possible.' Attorney Lorenzo Williams, a partner with the Stuart law firm of Gary Williams Lewis and Watson, announced in a news conference on the step of the St. Lucie County Courthouse that he filed the suit Thursday on behalf of Maj.
Robinson, Maj. Scott Bartal, Capt. Don Kryak, Capt. And two civilian employees, Sheila K. Bronger, a supervisor in the communication division, and Sheila B.
O'Sullivan, an administrator in the communication department. The six were terminated in a departmental reorganization Oravec announced April 10 that eliminated 12 positions. The lawsuit claims the firings violated the Port St. Lucie City Charter, the due process provisions guaranteed by the 14th Amendment to the Constitution and the Florida Sunshine Law because elected city officials allegedly met with Oravec before the dismissals to give him guidance. The lawsuit alleges the city 'unlawfully fundamentally altered the organizational and command structure of its police department by terminating all supervisory personnel holding the ranks of major and captain, as well as other department administrators and/or department supervisors.' Williams said Oravec 'in one swoop eliminated the entire command structure of the department.' Police Chief Brian Reuther plans to retire May 31. Bova magiq drivers manual download.
Williams said his clients, who combine to have about 150 years of experience in the department and more than 200 years in law enforcement, were 'stripped of their dignity and treated like common criminals' when they were dismissed. 'No reason was given,' Williams said, 'just 'Hasta la vista.' ' Although Oravec said at the time of the firings that politics within City Hall had nothing to do with the action, Williams said his clients were 'victims of political 'vendettiveness.' ' Kryak said he didn't know why he was fired. 'It certainly wasn't because of my unblemished record,' he said. 'I absolutely did not deserve this. It was not a budget issue; the city is solvent.'
Kryak said he expects 'a political vendetta is behind it,' adding that he had been caught up in a 'witch hunt.' 'I didn't want (my career) to end with a bullet,' he said. 'I didn't want it to end with indignation, which is the way it was. In nine minutes, that's how long it took, the city manager ended my career.
And then he sat back and grinned.' At a hastily called news conference Thursday evening, Oravec said the police department's 'reorganization was necessary (and) long overdue,' adding that he acted 'pursuant to the authority granted to the city manager. The city charter. The code of Ordinances.'
Saying he had not yet read the lawsuit, Oravec declined to talk specifically about it, but he said his action 'was not an easy thing, but it was the right thing, done the right way.' Oravec said the dismissals 'reallocated resources from unnecessary management positions and less mission-critical functions of the police department to where they are really needed — officers on patrol and detectives solving crimes.' At the time of the dismissals, Oravec said the move would help the city free up about $2 million to hire two acting assistant police chiefs immediately as well as 18 new sworn officers and four civilian employees during the next several months. Williams discounted the 'more boots on the street' argument, saying that 'before the ink was dry' on the dismissal papers, Oravec had promoted Lt.
Bolduc to acting assistant chiefs of police two days after the firings. And in the three weeks since the dismissals, Williams added, 'I haven't seen no one ramping up a recruiting class' of new officers. The lawsuit also claims Robinson was the sole city employee authorized to receive high-level security briefings from the FBI 'with matters concerning homeland security,' and that his termination 'presents a clear and present danger to the public safety of city, its citizens, employees and visitors.' Oravec called the claim 'flat-out inaccurate' and distributed a May 1 memo from Port St. Lucie Police Lt.
