Seaford council upholds police and city manager decision, denies grievance appeal
Summary
At a reopened Seaford City Council meeting, Vice Mayor Henderson moved and the council unanimously voted to deny a grievance appeal and uphold the decision of the chief of police and the city manager; the meeting then adjourned.
At about 10:08 p.m. during a reopened regular council meeting, the Seaford City Council voted unanimously to deny a grievance appeal and to uphold the decision of the chief of police and the city manager. Vice Mayor Henderson made the motion; Councilwoman Grasset seconded it.
The motion, offered aloud by Vice Mayor Henderson, said: “I make a motion to deny the grievance appeal and uphold the decision of the chief of police and the city manager.” The council conducted a voice vote; the presiding mayor (identified in the transcript as “Mr. Mayor”) declared the motion passed unanimously.
The council then accepted a motion to adjourn. Councilman Quillen moved to adjourn; Councilman Bradley seconded. The mayor called for the voice vote, which the meeting transcript records as passing unanimously.
The action on the grievance appeal was a formal council motion and vote. The transcript records the motion text, the mover (Vice Mayor Henderson), the seconder (Councilwoman Grasset) and that the result was announced as unanimous; the transcript does not record individual roll-call votes or the name of the person who filed the grievance.
No additional details about the underlying grievance, any disciplinary measures, or the reasons cited by the chief of police and the city manager appear in the meeting transcript.
The council adjourned immediately after the votes.
