Charming, just charming. Sorry not sorry Ojai.

Ben Harvey resigned from his Pacific Grove post in July 2023 after the city council voted 6-0 to 0K a separation agreement with him. Harvey later took on the same
role with the City of Ojai. However, in the past month or so, three former Ojai workers filed complaints against the Ventura County city.In a July 15 government claim, former
finance director Pamela Greer said that in early 2024, about a month after Harvey began working for the city, he requested to be reimbursed for unspecified expenses.
When Greer asked to see his employment agreement to confirm the expenses were authorized, she claims Harvey said, “Why can’t you just process the reimbursement?”
Greer, who is seeking at least $ I million in damages, accuses Harvey of disrespecting “basic financial procedures from the start,” and says he and others engaged in illegal activity, including paying vendors based on estimates rather than invoices, carrying over unspent funds from one fiscal year to the next, misusing grant funds, and requesting that she advise Harvey on his personal taxes.
Greer claims Harvey and other city offcials fired her in March for reporting the alleged wrongdoing. She said Harvey also informed the city council that he found $8 million missing in the city’s budget, “casting aspersions of financial fraud and lack of transparency on Greer and the previous city administration.”
