Bradley to Discipline Aide

Mayor Tom Bradley said today that the findings of a special panel investigating criminal and civil allegations against Sylvia Cunliffe, the head of Los Angeles City’s Department of General Services, “warrant the drafting of formal charges for disciplinary action.”

At a City Hall news conference, Bradley said that after reading the committee’s report into accusations of favoritism, mismanagement and misconduct in office, he asked the city attorney’s office to draft the charges against Cunliffe. Bradley said that he then would decide what action to take. Those charges could include suspending or firing Cunliffe from her $90,243-a-year job.
