DALY CITY, Calif. (KGO) — Community members have called for Daly City Councilmember Pamela DiGiovanni to resign, citing allegations of harassment, intimidation and assault, as well as concerns about her compliance with a 2025 censure.<\/p>\n

The issue dominated a Daly City City Council meeting Monday night, where residents and officials criticized DiGiovanni’s conduct and questioned whether she had fulfilled the requirements imposed after the city’s formal censure.<\/p>\n

“You have bullied, harassed and attempted to intimidate and exclude community members, staff and your colleagues,” one speaker said during the meeting.<\/p>\n

According to city leaders, they have received multiple complaints regarding DiGiovanni’s conduct. Community members alleged a pattern of behavior spanning more than a decade.<\/p>\n

Among those speaking was Luis Landos, who recounted an alleged incident with DiGiovanni.<\/p>\n

“That was an assault,” Landos said at Monday night’s council meeting. “…the day she slapped me on my face, that was the day my mother passed away. I won’t never forget that.”<\/p>\n

Daly City Councilmember Juslyn Manalo now has a restraining order against Pam DiGiovanni, after claiming that the colleague assaulted her last month.<\/p>\n

Landos said DiGiovanni should step down and acknowledge her actions.<\/p>\n

“There has been a long record trail from employees from city workers, staff,” he said by phone to ABC7 Eyewitness News.<\/p>\n

The controversy surrounding DiGiovanni first became public in October 2022, when Councilmember Juslyn Manalo accused her of physically assaulting her inside a City Hall conference room. Manalo alleged that DiGiovanni slammed a heavy door on her back as she was leaving.<\/p>\n

DiGiovanni denied the allegation, calling it entirely “politically motivated” ahead of her reelection campaign.<\/p>\n

In response, Daly City commissioned an outside investigation that ultimately led to a formal censure of DiGiovanni in October 2025.<\/p>\n

During Monday’s meeting, the City Council reviewed a report on that censure and discussed whether DiGiovanni had complied with its requirements.<\/p>\n

“We were deeply concerned regarding her compliance with the previous censure,” said Daly City Mayor Glenn Sylvester.<\/p>\n

According to city officials, DiGiovanni failed to meet requirements related to the censure, including mandatory anti-harassment training.<\/p>\n

Sylvester said the city is now considering next steps.<\/p>\n

“Where do we go from here? Obtaining further information to see if there’s a violation of FPPC or possibly criminal violations,” he said.<\/p>\n

ABC7 Eyewitness reported that it reached out to DiGiovanni for comment but did not receive a response.<\/p>\n

The City Council has not announced any additional action, but community members continued to press for accountability during Monday night’s meeting as questions remain about the councilmember’s future in office.<\/p>\n
