Citizen alleges Franklin Police gave "fraudulent information" to city manager; council directs citizen to staff
Summary
During citizen's time, Thomas Counsel III said police told him to speak to the city manager about "fraudulent information" given to the city by the Franklin Police Department; council advised him to contact the city manager during office hours.
At the start of the meeting during citizen's time, Thomas Counsel III told the council he had been "told by law enforcement to come speak to the city manager concerning some fraudulent information that was given to you by Franklin Police Department concerning official proceedings." He asked whether the city manager (Bertram) would like the opportunity to speak; council staff and the presiding officer told him that citizen's time is reserved for comment and suggested he contact the city manager during office hours for follow-up.
No council action was taken on the allegation during the meeting. The council advised the speaker to follow up with the city manager in her office rather than during citizen's time. No staff response to the allegation was recorded on the public record in the transcript.
