HomeMy WebLinkAbout07. CCCERA LetterDear Employers,
We are the staff of CCCERA and you need to be aware that CCCERA is falling apart. The
retirement board has hired an incompetent CEO, Gail Strohl, who has run the organizatiolir into
the ground. Christina Dunn, HR Manager, has violated the employees' rights, lied to the
unions/employees, destroyed morale and falsely changed job descriptions to ensure raises flit'
some and pay decreases for others. She is a monster. Both Gail and Christina are corrupt.
1.
Gail has fired or chased away all of the managers and employees who held the necessary
experience to ensure that CCCERA was following all IRS rules and the law. You should be
concerned about your monies. You should be concerned about the pension plan. You need to
make sure that the retirement board is auditing CCCERA operations and that all policies are
being followed and that CCCERA is keeping an accurate account of the monies owed by the
employer.
Rodeo -Hercules Fire is the latest victim of Gail Strohl. Gail lied to the board and said that she
was not aware that the district was not able to pay all employer contributions. She knew but she
did not know what to do about it so she placed the blame on others. CCCERA does not have a
sound accounting department where CCCERA can accurately track monies owed and paid by the
employers. The accounting department is a mess and is being run by an outside temporary
manager.
CCCERA has not paid the employer contributions that itself owes for the last couple of months.
Why isn't CCCERA being held to the same standards as the other employers are? Why isn't
CCCERA being charged interest and penalties just like Rodeo -Hercules Fire is being charged?
Rodeo -Hercules Fire asked CCCERA for help but CCCERA dropped the ball just like it did with
the Panel Management Pay, On Call Pay, Call Back Pay and Nowicki. CCCERA is now
blaming the employer. Don't be the next employer who gets screwed by Gail Strohl.
Throughout CCCERA policies are not being followed. The compliance officer hides the truth.
He is morally obligated to report corruption to the board but he feels it is not his job. Gail has
replaced long-standing, experienced employees and managers with idiots who have no retirement
and no managerial experience. It is the blind leading the blind. The employers and the members
of CCCERA are the ones who will suffer the greatest.
Gail lies to the retirement board and tells them that everything is fine. That CCCERA is
operating as it should. Gail is an absent CEO who is unaware of how to run a pension plan.
We have approached the board regarding the misconduct and incompetence of Gail Strohl and
Christina Dunn. We have asked for the board to fire Gail and Christina. We have asked the
board to investigate our claims. The board refuses to acknowledge that there is a problem.
We are inviting you to the 2/25/2016 board meeting to inquire with the board as to what is
happening here at CCCERA. The board needs to be held accountable. Ask the board to prove
that employer contributions are being correctly tracked and that the plan is strong and safe. Ask
for the board to prove that the pension benefits paid to the members are correct. Ask the board to
prove that Gail is not corrupt. Staff will be addressing the retirement board at this meeting. You
will be able to hear staff's concerns in person.
Take this seriously. Everything we have written here is true. CCCERA is about to have its
doors closed forever. Ask the board to investigate Gail and the corruption at CCCERA.
