Resident says two firefighters who have no-trespass order responded to her calls; city attorney to review complaint
Summary
Anne Platt told the council two fire department members with an outstanding no-trespass order attended a rescue call at her residence more than once; City Attorney Andrew Carothers will review complaint forms and the order and follow up with Platt or Mayor Meints. The council also deferred EMS education agreement revisions to Rescue Chief Shawna Argo.
Resident Anne Platt told the Wymore City Council on March 18 that two members of the fire department who are subject to a no-trespass order appeared at her residence to respond to a rescue call on multiple occasions. Platt said she has an existing no-trespass order against both individuals.
City Attorney Andrew Carothers said he will review the complaint forms and the no-trespass order and that either he or Mayor Collin Meints will be in contact with Platt. The minutes record no immediate disciplinary action; the attorney’s review and follow-up were the next steps the council recorded.
Separately, during discussion of education approvals for EMS the council and Attorney Carothers asked Rescue Chief Shawna Argo to make changes she wanted to the agreement and return the revised document at the next meeting; the item was placed on the following agenda.
The council also voted to invite Lisa Munstermann into executive session for the protection of the public interest and the prevention of needless injury to an individual’s reputation; the session began at 8:30 p.m. and ended at 9:04 p.m. The minutes do not specify whether the firefighter complaint was the subject of that executive session.
No councilmember offered a substantive response to Platt’s allegations on the record beyond the attorney’s stated review; the record shows follow-up by counsel or the mayor rather than additional public discussion.
