Council dismisses a series of citizen complaints as 'no merit' after review
Summary
The council reviewed sworn complaints submitted by a citizen (filed as 'Jeffrey De Bridal' / variants) alleging misconduct by multiple officials and voted to find no merit in each complaint, dismissing the items on procedural grounds.
At the Sept. 17 meeting the council reviewed a packet of sworn complaints submitted by a citizen recorded in the packet as variations of the name Jeffrey De Bridal/DeGabriel/DeGavriel alleging misconduct by multiple city officials. The complaints covered alleged improper actions by individual council members, the city manager, city clerk and the police chief.
For each complaint the council read the submitted allegation, heard brief commentary and then moved to find no merit and dismiss the charge. The dismissals were recorded by voice vote; several councilors abstained in cases where they were the subject of an allegation or had a potential conflict.
Council clarified procedural rules for handling such complaints, including abstention requirements when a council member is the aggrieved party. After addressing the docket, the council moved on to other business.
