In late September, Rick Reynolds, the City's assistant chief operating officer, was fired, along with Lance Wade, purchasing and contracting director. Wade told me that Reynolds was fired because he warned Mayor Jerry Sanders's spokesperson, Fred Sainz, about the dangers of giving out Internet Protocol (IP) numbers that Sainz had requested. Wade believes Sainz wanted to provide the numbers of the city attorney's office to the Union-Tribune. Warned Reynolds in a Sept. 27 email to Sainz, "the information could be combined with network logs or other trackable system information, resulting in individually identifiable information which would typically not be available for or subject to disclosure. In addition, disclosure of our internal IP addresses to any unauthorized parties would violate system security policies by providing information that could be used maliciously for 'hacking' or gaining unauthorized access, to City systems (either internally or externally)." Sainz demanded that Reynolds erase the letter. Apparently Reynolds did not do so, because I got a copy of it. Wade says he gave this information to the Union-Tribune, which did not use it. Reynolds would not comment, other than to say that he was not political enough for the Sanders administration. Translation: Reynolds is honest.
