Doyle was fired without cause in September 2021.
SANTA CLARA — Former city attorney Brian Doyle, a fierce critic of the San Francisco 49ers’ management of Levi’s Stadium, is suing the city two years after his firing, contending the Santa Clara City Council terminated him unlawfully and in retaliation for whistleblowing.
The request to put it on the Dec. 8 agenda was denied, prompting Chahal to ask for it to be placed on the Dec. 15 agenda, which strengthened Doyle’s belief that there was a “quid pro quo” agreement among five councilmembers and third parties acting on behalf of the 49ers ownership, the lawsuit said. When Doyle asked Chahal at a public meeting what he wanted to discuss in closed session, he said Chahal initially “refused to specify a topic and remained circumspect,” according to the lawsuit.
“The evaluation process revealed itself to be a sham and pre-textual cover-up for the retaliatory termination of Plaintiff,” Doyle’s lawsuit said.
