The Oakland City Council is expected to approve a $1.5 million wrongful termination suit filed by former police Chief Anne Kirkpatrick two years after she was fired.
City councilmembers were scheduled to vote to settle the allegations for $1.5 million, according to the city attorney's office.
The Oakland Police Commission voted 7-0 on Feb. 20, 2020, in favor of terminating Kirkpatrick without cause, a decision Schaaf affirmed. Kirkpatrick then filed a wrongful termination suit against the city. She alleged the city violated her rights to free speech and that she was fired in retaliation for blowing the whistle on alleged misconduct by commissioners.
In May, a jury sided with Kirkpatrick over the whistleblower claim but sided with the city over the free speech claim.
