SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. — Assistant City Attorney Jacqueline Mittelstadt has told the City of South Lake Tahoe that her last day will be April 19.

She gave notice Wednesday, said city Human Resources Manager Janet Emmett. The contents her resignation letter are private and will be filed in Mittelstadt's personnel file.

Mittelstadt could not be reached by deadline Friday.

In September 2009 the South Lake Tahoe City Council gave Mittelstadt a notice of intended removal from office, citing “incompatibility of management styles” and “work inconsistent with city expectations” as reasons for the possible removal from office. Allegations of complaints from city employees against Mittelstadt also entered the discussion during an October City Council meeting.

Mittelstadt defended herself against the allegations and the City Council balked at following through on the notice of intended removal at the October meeting.

As part of the settlement agreement finalized in September, Assistant City Attorney/ Redevelopment Counsel Patrick Enright took the lead at the City Attorney's Office.

Mittelstadt's $128,000 annual pay remained the same, but her job title changed from “City Attorney” to “Assistant City Attorney,” according to the settlement agreement.

The agreement also bared Mittelstadt from speaking to the public or the press regarding city business unless directed to do so by Enright and prohibited her from pursuing any legal action associated with her fight to stay employed at the city.

Mittelstadt was also required to participate in counseling and training to enhance her “communication and interpersonal” skills as part of the agreement.
