Board of Works opens grievance hearing for Ott family then tables the matter

At a special Board of Works meeting (date not specified), members opened a grievance hearing for Ryan, Chris and Stuart Ott and then voted to table the matter until further notice, postponing any immediate decision.

The action came after a roll call that established a quorum. Nancy (role not specified) reported that four board members were present: Andy Jones, Mike Macklin, Jamie Arce and Tim Reeser; Rose Rivera and Ronnie Davis were absent. The board first approved the meeting agenda by voice vote.

During the grievance item, the board moved to open a hearing for "Ryan, Chris, and Stuart Ott." The motion to open the hearing carried by voice vote. Shortly afterward, a motion to table the action "until further" was made and seconded; members again adopted the motion by voice vote, effectively postponing consideration of the grievance. The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn, which also passed.

Meeting records did not identify which board member formally moved or seconded the motions; the transcript records only that motions were offered, seconded and approved by voice vote with attendees saying "aye." The transcript does not specify any substantive discussion on the merits of the grievance, specific allegations, a hearing schedule, or next steps for staff.

Because the board tabled the hearing, no formal findings, penalties, or procedural directives were recorded at this meeting. The transcript does not specify when the board intends to reconvene the grievance hearing or what materials (witnesses, exhibits, or staff reports) will be required when the matter returns to the agenda.
