5.-C. ID 26-386 CONFERENCE WITH LEGAL COUNSEL-EXISTING LITIGATION
Government Code Section 54956.9, subdivision (d)(1)
Case Name: La-Kebbia Wilson v. City of Fresno; et al, Eastern District Court Case No. 1:19-cv-01658
I have been reading about this case for what I feel is like years now. I understand if this verdict raises awareness to racial violations that have been overlooked for decades. And those reports of violations are likely pouring in and making things hard for the City of Fresno. Too bad.
Pay up. Be accountable. Fire those who participate in racism. Ban the Klan. We know it exists in Fresno--easily ranked with Clovis as one of our nation's most racist cities--with Bakersfield wanting the Bronze.
Pay the judgment. Attone.

After 8 years of denying justice, an appeal would be another slap in the face to justice. You can appeal and end up costing tax payers more money. These two employees have been through enough. A jury heard the evidence and made the right decision. Use this energy to fix the problem. Hold people accountable for what they cost the city. Say “we are sorry this happened”. Commit to not letting it happen again. To appeal is to try to get away with wrong doing. Disclose how much we paid to outside council and how much they want to appeal this judgement for you.
Just apologize, and address the causes so we can all heal.
I oppose the decision to appeal. They had several years to get their stuff together. The jury has spoken. It would a grave disservice to Mrs. Wilson. Fresno needs to acknowledge and be accountable for their centuries of racism.
In the matter of LaKebbia Wilson v. The City of Fresno I firmly oppose the City of Fresno’s (“the City”) position to appeal the jury’s recent verdict. The City had several years to prepare and present their case against Mrs. Wilson. However the jury has spoken and it is evident that Mrs. Wilson and her team presented all facts that warrant and well compensates her loss of income, time with family/friends and the overall humiliation as a woman having to deal with such issues in society today especially in the work place.
Again I would like to reiterate the City had many years to prepare and present their case. Instead of presenting facts they spent unnecessary money on unreliable resources and attacked a woman who only wanted to do her job, with the proper tools and necessary equipment to do her job to the best of her ability and not be reprimanded for speaking up. No one deserves to work in a hostile work environment and for that the City of Fresno must learn from their mistakes and hire more employees and implement management that are more diverse in racial/ethical standards.
I support the decision not to appeal the jury’s verdict in La-Kebbia Wilson v. City of Fresno. Pursuing an appeal would be a waste of resources and only serves to delay accountability.
It is time for the City to take responsibility and acknowledge the outcome of this case. Unfortunately, without meaningful change, Ms. Wilson will not be the last person affected by these issues.
I fully support the decision not to appeal the jury’s verdict in La-Kebbia Wilson v. City of Fresno. As a retired city employee, I have firsthand knowledge of how the city operates, including how issues can at times be minimized or overlooked.
This case reflects a broader need for accountability and meaningful change. The city maintains insurance specifically to address situations like this, and continuing to prolong litigation only delays resolution and adds unnecessary cost.
Repeatedly responding to situations in the same way without implementing change does not lead to improvement. It is essential that the city take this opportunity to reflect, learn, and move forward in a more responsible and transparent manner.
Mrs. Wilson has endured significant hardship, and she deserves closure, respect, and justice not further legal challenge.
I Oppose the decision to appeal this case, it seems that the judgement was warranted. The city would be once again denying that there was in fact a racism issue with their employee. To put Mrs. Wilson through this again would be shameful!
I support NOT appealing this jury decision. Mrs Wilson's has been through enough pain and suffering to keep her family together.
I support not appealing the decision of the jury for Case Name: La-Kebbia Wilson v. City of Fresno.
I support NOT to appeal in the Case Name: La-Kebbia Wilson vs City of Fresno
No to an appeal. The jurors in this case heard the evidence and decided in favor of Mrs Wilson. Do the right thing and honor the decision.

In the matter of Lakeebbia Wilson the case should not be appealed.
Howard Lacey should’ve been fired due to despicable behavior.
