Former council member accused of bullying and harassment
During a recent government meeting, a resident voiced serious concerns regarding the behavior of former council member Vogel, alleging that her actions have negatively impacted both her family and the broader community. The resident recounted a troubling incident where Vogel used her Facebook page to suggest that the resident's husband, who is also the city manager, was involved in an inappropriate relationship. This claim was accompanied by a pornographic meme that featured the husband’s face, which the resident learned about from her daughter.

The resident criticized Vogel for making baseless accusations against city employees, including targeting the minor child of one employee. She expressed frustration over Vogel's tendency to prioritize attention-grabbing posts over the truth, stating that such behavior undermines the mental health and well-being she claims to advocate for. The resident highlighted the potential harm these posts could cause to families, particularly those with children who may face bullying as a result of Vogel's comments.

Furthermore, the resident pointed out the contradiction in Vogel's stance on city employee retention, noting that while she raises concerns about it, she simultaneously disparages city staff, including first responders. The resident concluded her remarks by condemning Vogel's actions as divisive, unprofessional, and unbecoming of a city official, asserting that city employees and their families should not endure such bullying and harassment.
