Taxpayer money was used to launch an investigation even though there has been no council authorization.
The justification given that there was no city manager and no city attorney at the time.
So again, I ask more questions.
How did the mayor have unilateral authority to initiate the investigation involving council members without the checks and balances?
And when council members later pushed back against continuing the investigation because they saw political motivations behind it, the mayor reportedly stated that everyone would regret it.
So who authorized it?
Who knew it?
who disclosed it, and why accountability seems to only apply in this city, this county, selectively.
That is why I'm here tonight for the eighth time.
Because the pattern is no longer isolated incidents, the pattern is no longer avoidable.
Avoidance of investigations, avoidance of transparency, avoidance of accountability, avoidance of preserving records, avoidance of answering direct questions from the public.
What started for me as an effort to document and better understand local government a decade ago has only been reinforced what I continue to see here today and playing out every moment.
So, once again, I am formally requesting that this City Council agenize the item for public discussion, leading to a truly independent investigation into who disclosed the fee-for-information, one with authority to examine everyone who was present in that closed session, what happened afterward, and whether taxpayer-funded investigations were conducted honestly, fairly, or were they political.
No exceptions, no selective accountability,
no protecting political allies, and no avoiding the truth.
This council has a choice, continue avoiding these issues or finally confront them transparently or publicly.
The public deserves those answers, the city employees deserve that fairness, and this community deserves a government that is not afraid of that accountability.
So I ask for you to put that on a future agenda as soon as possible, and I thank you guys for your time tonight, and have a great evening.
Thank you very much.
Next, we have number 2669.
