Council denies former police captain's claim about weapon
By Jennifer Pearson Bonnett/News-Sentinel Staff Writer
The City Council has denied a claim from a retired Lodi police captain whose permit to carry a concealed weapon was rescinded by Police Chief Jerry Adams.
Charlie Mauch, who retired in 2002, also filed the claim because he had been denied a retirement badge.
He wrote that the revocation of the permit results in a "loss of future employment opportunities."
Permits are usually automatically granted to retired officers.
Mauch's permit was revoked June 24, according to a City Council memo.
He wrote on the claim form that Sgt. Steven Price delivered to Mauch a letter from Adams stating that not only would Mauch not receive his concealed weapon permit, but wouldn't receive a retirement badge either.
Under state law, the police chief has the capacity to grant or revoke concealed weapon permits.
"The California Penal Code gives the police chief authority to not issue or revoke a retired peace officer's privilege to carry a concealed weapon for good cause," Adams said. "In retired captain Mauch's case, I did revoke his concealed weapons permit for a good cause and am declining to comment further on the matter."
Mauch, who declined to comment on the claim, headed the Police Department's detectives division until he left in early 2001 on disability.
He also served as the Lodi Lions Club president and is a graduate of the Chamber of Commerce's Leadership Lodi program.
On Wednesday, the City Council voted 5-0 without any discussion to deny Mauch's claim, which names not only Adams but his "superiors and subordinates."
In general, if a citizen feels the city has done or not done something that has caused damage and resulted in a loss, he or she can obtain a claim form from the City Clerk's Office.
The claim, also the first step before filing a lawsuit, is then routed to the city's risk manager and assigned to a third-party administrator who scrutinizes the claim's details. Then it is determined whether the city is responsible, and the administrator recommends whether to deny or accept the claim.
The final decision is made by the City Council
