Dear Bill,
I am in receipt of your email, and it is accurate. In the interest of full transparency, I want to let you
know the District needs to inform leadership team members and direct report staff. However, we will
not be informing all staff. I am planning on something very simple such as the “Superintendent has
taken a leave of absence for personal reasons.” Please let me know if you have suggested language.
Pursuant to BP 9082, the Deputy Superintendent will be the Acting Superintendent.
Sincere regards,
Neil A. Rombardo, Esq.

Sparks Fire Dept. investigative report into Timothy Egan dropping a senior ci...
This report by Christopher Darcy of the Fairfax Consulting Group found Sparks Firefighter Timothy Egan instigated an altercation with a senior citizen, lied about it and violated department policies and state laws. Egan claimed he was attacked by Maureen Hvegholm, then 84, in December of 2022 when Hvegholm was feeding cats in an alleyway in Sparks, Nevada.
“Egan was responsible for creating the physical altercation between himself and Hvegholm,” Darcy wrote. “Egan initiated contact by approaching Hvegholm, attempting to take and throw away items she believed were hers. Egan used what officers described as disproportional force by throwing Hvegholm to the ground, causing her to land face first and injuring her forehead.”
Reno Council Member's Petition lawsuit against the City of Reno
Reno City Council member Jenny Brekhus last month sued the city after a 2,000-page report was released that implicated her as a toxic force at City Hall. Brekhus requested an investigation into the city, particularly City Manager Doug Thornley and the allegations she made against him.
However, the investigator instead determined that Brekhus was the source of hostility, and the investigator could not substantiate her allegations.
“The greater weight of the credible evidence indicates that Councilmember Brekhus has a habit of speaking to individuals in a manner that demeans and belittles them,” Dalton Green, with the Ogletree Deakins law firm, wrote. “In a passive aggressive manner, she calls their competence and, often, their integrity, into question – frequently in the presence of others – such that many are afraid to deal with her.”
In response to the report, Brekhus sued the city in December.

Sheriff’s deputy, county investigator sue Reno Police Department, former chief
A Washoe County Sheriff’s deputy and an investigator with the district attorney’s office last week filed a civil rights lawsuit against the Reno Police Department and former Police Chief Jason Soto. Also named in the litigation is a retired RPD Sergeant, Paul Sifre, who is alleged to have sexually harassed the two plaintiffs.
Apryl McElroy, a detective with the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office, and Jessica Troup, an investigator with the Washoe County District Attorney’s office (previously with University Police Services), both allege Sifre made sexually explicit comments to them while at a conference in Las Vegas. Rather than addressing the issue—and what they called longstanding problematic behavior by Sifre—the plaintiffs allege he received a lucrative disability retirement instead.
City of Reno Placemaking Phase I presentation
The document provides an update on Phase One of the Virginia Street Placemaking Study Implementation Plan in Reno, Nevada. Phase One will include a Façade and Tenant Improvement Program, improvements to the Streetscape Furnishing Zone, upgrades to Locomotion Plaza 2.0, and the development of a new ROW Plaza. The Reno City Council is requested to approve the next steps and authorize a $365,000 agreement with an urban design consultant to assist with planning and design of the streetscape, plaza, and ROW projects.
Dennis Carry Affidavit in Support of Warrant
Former Washoe County Sheriff’s Sergeant Dennis Carry is facing seven felony charges, including bigamy – being married to two different people at the same time.
Carry is also accused of burglary, forgery, surreptitious intrusion of privacy, giving false evidence and perjury.
The case goes back to 2019 when Reno police started investigating Carry. He is alleged to have broken into the Washoe County courthouse to modify married records in an attempt to cover up his dual marriages.
The Reno Police Department and City of Reno said this document is 100% confidential, and Washoe County District Court Judge Kathleen Drakulich agreed, even though This Is Reno obtained the unreacted affidavit from Reno Justice Court. The Nevada Supreme Court June 2023 ordered Drakulich to reconsider her decision.
Reno Council member Devon Reese's ethics violations
Reno City Council member Devon Reese must comply with a handful of orders handed down by the Nevada Ethics Commission this month after cause was found in a complaint filed last year alleging he violated a handful of state ethics laws.
The complaint, filed in September 2022, alleges Reese did not disclose business relationships with several employee union groups, and he did not recuse himself from contract negotiations with those groups or votes to approve those contracts.
Reese works as an attorney for the Hutchison and Steffen law firm.
The commission’s review panel determined that two of the five violations noted in the complaint were valid.
As a result, Reese has to participate in ethics training, develop a process to disclose and abstain from council activities related to his office’s clients, and submit Reno City Council meeting minutes referencing issues or clients related to the law firm for the next two years.
If Reese doesn’t meet these requirements, or has another ethics violation within the next two years, the commission will repeal the deferral agreement and may pursue additional action.
Vegas physician, America's Frontline Doctors sued after Reno man died from ta...
The estate of Jeremy Parker last week sued the anti-vaccination, right-wing group America's Frontline Doctors for alleged wrongful death. Dr. Medina Culver, an osteopathic physician and Instagram influencer based in Henderson, Nevada, is also named in the case. The lawsuit alleges negligence by the group and Culver for the death of Parker last year.
"Based on information provided by America's Frontline Doctors, Mr. Parker became convinced, along with several of his co-workers, that hydroxychloroquine was an effective treatment for COVID-19," the suit alleges. "On or about August 26, 2021, Mr. Parker had a telemedicine visit with Dr. Culver, at which time Dr. Culver prescribed Mr. Parker with hydroxychloroquine and/or ivermectin for COVID-19 treatment or 'preventative therapy.' Dr. Culver never performed a physical examination of Mr. Parker."
According to the suit, Parker developed cold-like symptoms in late January of 2022. His body was found Feb. 3, 2022. The Washoe County coroner listed Parker's cause of death as "sudden in the setting of therapeutic use of hydroxychloroquine."
City of Reno Police Chief Community Survey
Low staffing levels and political agendas are two problems within the Reno Police Department. That’s according to concerns identified by community members and RPD employees in two recent surveys conducted as part of a search for the department’s new chief.
The surveys were developed and analyzed by Ralph Andersen, an executive search firm tasked with helping to replace Chief Jason Soto, who is set to retire in January 2023.
The internal department survey included responses from 128 of RPD’s staff – officers, command staff and civilians. It revealed that employees have mixed feelings about the department, with some citing low morale, burnout and staffing shortages.
Viral video of Reno-area Sikhs partying with sex workers in Costa Rica subjec...
Multiple phones were recording video of members of Reno’s Sikh community frolicking in May with sex workers in Costa Rica. But only one person is being sued for sharing video of plaintiffs Ranbir Chhina, Navdeep Singh, Kewal Singh, Opinder Dhillon and Amandeep Singh engaging in “adult entertainment.”
Nic Palmer of the Laub & Laub law firm recently filed a lawsuit against Parminder Walia for sharing videos of the group partying with prostitutes in the Central American country. The plaintiffs are claiming an intrusion of privacy.
“The Plaintiffs are business owners and belong to the Sikh Community, which is a conservative religion,” Palmer wrote. “The Plaintiff [sic] have suffered social and financial consequences due to the Defendants actions of posting the videos online.”
One of the plaintiffs, Kewal Singh Sekhon, was president of Reno’s Sikh Temple. Another was a member, according to a court document in the case that cited an article by Rajan Zed in 2012 published on This Is Reno.
“I sent the videos to the group of ten Sikhs to show that American Sikhs, despite the conservative values of Sikhism, know how to party and have a good time,” Walia said in a sworn statement filed in Washoe County’s Second Judicial District Court.

The petition alleges that the City has improperly withheld, redacted, and delayed the disclosure of requested records on various police matters. It also claims the City has improperly closed some requests and demanded payment for records not listed in its fee schedule. The petition seeks an order requiring the City to comply with the Nevada Public Records Act and provide timely access to public records.

He demanded the league fire volunteers, accused the league of unlawful behavior by enforcing state mask mandates and said the league violating the Nuremberg Code of Ethics by alleging it was conducting research involving human subjects. The page-and-a-half response, by the League's attorney, Theodore Chrissinger, is savage. "Your letter does not identify your client," Chrissinger wrote. "Your letter does not identify any breach of contract, tort, crime, or other actionable conduct. I am uncertain why you refer to Dr. Mengele, the Nuremberg Code, or medical 'experimentation.' GBYSL has not mandated any medical experimentation." The threat went nowhere.

The document discusses the history of chocolate, describing how it originated from cacao beans grown by the Olmecs and Mayans in Mexico and Central America. It then explains how Spanish conquistadors brought cacao beans back to Europe in the 16th century, where it eventually became popular as a drink among the elite. Over time, chocolate became widely consumed in powder and solid forms across Europe and North America.

Court awards attorney fees to This Is Reno in public records lawsuit against ...
Washoe County District Court Judge Kathleen Drakulich this week awarded costs and attorney fees to This Is Reno in its public records lawsuit against the Reno Police Department.
Last year, This Is Reno sued RPD for failing to follow Nevada public records laws. Drakulich partially agreed. She said RPD failed to respond to a number of This Is Reno’s public records orders within the time frame required by law – up to seven months in one case.
Drakulich, however, said RPD properly denied the release of documents relevant to open investigations. She also said RPD can continue to redact officer faces from body worn cameras, a practice This Is Reno attempted to challenge.
Body cam redaction policies are inconsistently applied in Nevada. Most other states in the country do not redact officer faces, a point the Reno city attorney said was irrelevant.
In Nevada, some law enforcement entities are redacting officer faces from videos. That includes the back of officer heads, in RPD’s case.
The reason for the redactions, according to the Reno city attorney: The law prohibits the release of an officer’s photograph to the public unless the officer gives permission for the release.
Former employee fires back after being sued by Community Health Alliance
James Fleming, who is being sued by his former employer, Community Health Alliance, fired back at the health nonprofit in court filings last week.
He denies wrongdoing and accuses CHA of interfering with the federal investigation into Fleming’s allegations that CHA committed fraud.
Fleming responded to the complaint Feb. 4 after CHA applied for a temporary protective order seeking to prevent Fleming from talking about CHA negatively.
CHA also filed an amended complaint that removed most mentions of Reno City Council member, also CHA’s CEO, Oscar Delgado.

Community Health Alliance in Reno sues former employee (original complaint)
Community Health Alliance executives filed a lawsuit last week in district court demanding a former employee stop speaking negatively of the non-profit health provider. CHA also filed a temporary protective order against the employee to prevent him from divulging what they said is confidential information.
Jim Fleming, the employee, said he is preparing to fight the claims and has received assistance from the ACLU of Nevada.
Fleming, CHA’s former statistician, has publicly alleged CHA CEO Oscar Delgado, also a Reno City Council member, was knowledgeable about and allowed fraud and the misuse of grant funds.
Fleming posts detailed allegations against CHA and its executives on Facebook, LinkedIn and his Medium account.
“Data show that Community Health Alliance severely underperformed in its contractual duties relative to the funds it received from the state of Nevada,” Fleming recently wrote on Facebook. “Even worse, in an attempt to demonstrate costs that would justify continued state contracts at their current levels, CHA deliberately falsified employment records. These employee records were used to bolster the full-time equivalent (FTE) tally, and therefore the costs, that were dedicated to the program in 2020.”
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General is investigating Fleming’s claim he filed last year. He filed the complaint with the federal agency saying he was fired by CHA in retaliation after he raised concerns about the nonprofit’s practices.

EED - The Container Port PERFORMANCE INDEX 2023
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
