Jeremy told the council that former Police Chief David Ebringer and other officials had ties to people involved in the earlier investigation and said those ties created an appearance of conflict that “demands external review.” He referred to “section 2” and “section 2.1” of the city charter as the council’s authority to investigate municipal misconduct.
A city official responded during the meeting that the council does not have authority or the background to conduct criminal investigations of officers; the official said any criminal investigation would be handled by law enforcement and noted that the city’s chief of police did not recommend reopening the matter. The official directed Jeremy to other avenues for complaints, including the Minnesota Attorney General’s Office of Civil Rights Complaints and the Minnesota Association of City Attorneys. No formal council investigation or motion was recorded at the meeting.
Jeremy named former Police Chief David Ebringer and the current chief, Chief Helmick, in his remarks and described email exchanges and relationships he said created a conflict of interest. The council’s response focused on jurisdictional limits and advising the resident on alternative complaint routes rather than initiating a local criminal investigation.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Moorhead - City Council - July 28, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","A Moorhead resident urged the council to order an external review of alleged conflicts and the police handling of a 2009 case; city officials said the council lacks authority to conduct criminal investigations and pointed him to state complaint options.","taxTitle","Moorhead, Clay County, Minnesota","taxId",56511,"location","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6153255,"Council hears presentation from Baker Tilly on 2025 bond sale; motion to approve issuance carries",594,836000,1430000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5493841-d99559ea2c270a2b217b9201ca81ee17&start=836&end=1430","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5493841-d99559ea2c270a2b217b9201ca81ee17/thumbnail_836000.jpg","/articles/6153255/Moorhead/Clay-County/Minnesota/Council-hears-presentation-from-Baker-Tilly-on-2025-bond-sale-motion-to-approve-issuance-carries","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6153255-b1e7bb109288534dbf34b06ee753a0eb/orig.mp4?Expires=1771229295&Signature=U2~ZDlQ1eRQJAMMMsSmVhR4SwAog5edKi2i-sZoqymQ9LK8gfw-pRCeokRLy4YghLQGmE~ZWo8MHdRPIunElzvuWNV1T-taVPQybDYHfT-n8qLogbVZlCvShpCNuVMCZJ19ejFkalK1HTryyD3Ra09lgw7tBeN9KVONttYmL1Nu8fSq5phBlhNUnsFXDLUld3KTq0VG~HSsI29ENJgcnBABBU7bsUiUNlaArBCwjk7uMdU-3Zfe4xDwBI5DdcfH0i8bLNP~9JQK6xGbitsGCNvQvzpPf0-BlazV0xTJgw~5zLLBXGHvIWGS3EU7egrbSEj8F2Li-raJosSD~wmcTrA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Baker Tilly Municipal Advisors joined the Moorhead City Council meeting remotely to present a proposed 2025 bond issuance.
