Analysis / Ruling of the Court. The district court granted the employer’s motion for summary judgement on the sexual harassment claim due to the fact that Sherry Lynch treated both men and women equally in this case; that is, she behaved in the same vulgar and inappropriate way towards both genders. For this reason, Smith’s gender was not a contributing factor to the harassment, which is one of the conditions that would have to be met for the sexual harassment claim. The appellate court agreed and affirmed the district court’s judgement. The district court ended up excluding evidence pertaining to the sexual harassment claim because the sexual harassment claim had been dismissed on summary judgement, and because the court decided that the details of the harassment bore little relevance to the retaliation case whereas this evidence would be unfairly prejudicial to Hy-Vee. The appellate court affirmed the district court’s judgement. Smith did not offer any specifics on what evidence she would have wanted to present, which made it hard for the court to determine whether this evidence was material to the retaliation case or not. In her opposition to the motion in limine, she said she only wanted to discuss the harassment case in general, including mentioning that Lynch had harassed/touched her inappropriately. Hy-Vee had no objection to this, and Smith got to present this much evidence in the trial. Therefore, the appellate court found that she waived any objection to the

Typically, the Deer Crossing Homeowners’ Association board will meet once a quarter to solve community problems and disputes that arose during the past few months, but has never organized a separate council to conduct surveys to gain a better insight on other homeowner’s. Without this needed insight, decisions are being made without some of the homeowners’ knowledge or input. This is primarily due to the lack of interested citizens in the association. The assessment in the following pages identifies issues that have occurred, regarding delinquencies, disputes, and community involvement, with no true action taken to collect or interpret information and implement guidance on some of the local community agenda items that occur.

The Loveland Fire Rescue and Authority (LFRA) is getting ready to go through a change in leadership. Our current Fire Chief, Randy Mirowski, is getting ready to take the next step of his life into retirement. This paper is going to define why this change in leadership could potentially be a problem, provide a background of the culture at LFRA, suggest an alternative solution to the problem and then suggest how LFRA can manage the potential resistance that could be experienced in this change process.
3. Procedural History: This matter comes before the court on motions of defendants for judgment notwithstanding the verdict, for new trial pursuant to Rule 59 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and for amended judgment.

The Woodmere Fire Department is always looking for dedicated volunteers, according to Chief Lenny Cherson. “Everybody is welcome to join and serve the community,” he said. The department utilizes various methods to recruit new members throughout the year, including its bi-annual fund mailing drive, advertisements, as well as signs on telephone poles outside of local schools, houses of worship and the business district. The department participated in the ‘RecruitNY’ campaign on April 27, but Cherson noted that the event is “mainly for smaller departments upstate, north of Orange County,” which cover a larger area in terms of land.
After witnessing the older gentleman give a piece of his mind to the mayor, I was hoping for more residents to stand up and demand action from their local government. I wanted people to step up and tell the local government that some of ...
The second August 25 letter amounted to an unlawful amendment. The City relied on section 16b(b) of article 1269m, which provided that "[i]n a civil service hearing conducted under this subsection, the department head is restricted to his original written statement and charges which may not be amended." However, section 16c(a) included in pertinent part the following language, "in addition to other notice requirements prescribed by this Act. The language in this section not only points out that the Legislature intentionally imposed the notice requirements contained in section 16c on the City, but all of the notice requirements contained within the

Then a council member would talk about what they recommend the council would do which was mostly emergency legislation. Each topic has a letter from the alphabet assigned to it. For example D was on the Topic of the authorization to enter into an agreement for professional engineering services relative to the Dussel/Salisbury corridor signal program modifications project. A woman called every member of the council by their last name, this is the time either they can say rather the agreed with the topic at hand with a simple yes or no. I noticed how respectful the council was with each other. They all waited for the Mayor to address them with a Mr., a Mrs., or President. They responded with a thank you Mayor before they started talking about the topic. Even though they was respectful they also like to have fun there were a few moments were they laughed. The Mayor also addressed us and explain that they were moving so fast because the topics already went from committees then administer and finally the council votes. The Mayor announced the hearing of the public. This is the time for the member of the community can talk about 3 minutes per

The order of the meeting followed the standard set of procedures for a public meeting. First the person would stand and present say what they were looking for, mostly variances, and presented their case for it. Then, people in the audience were able to stand and ask questions if they had any. The audience was then allowed to voice their opinions about the proposition. The board would then ask the proper commission head to share more about the proposition. A short time followed where the council members reviewed the facts and shared their opinions about the subject....
