Resident Scott Brown alleges recreation-department misconduct and asks council to reinstate coach
Summary
At the public-comment portion of the Liberty council meeting, resident Scott Brown urged the council to review evidence and reinstate a coach named Amber, alleging a deputy director named Bailey used her role to intimidate staff and remove the coach; the mayor declined to discuss personnel matters in open session.
Scott Brown, who identified himself as a Liberty resident during public comment, told the council he had presented evidence that a deputy director named Bailey used her position to intimidate recreation department staff and that a coach named Amber was removed from duties he described as unjust.
"Please look at all evidence that I presented to you tonight and reinstate Amber," Brown said, asking the council to consider returning Amber to coaching duties and saying parents and players wanted her back. He described a sequence of events — disagreements among program directors, changes to a team roster and what Brown characterized as retaliatory actions — and said some parents feared repercussions if Bailey remained in a supervisory role.
Mayor Erica Romo Woods responded that the council does not discuss personnel issues in public. "We don't discuss any personnel issues, in public," the mayor said, and thanked Brown while noting some information provided was incomplete. The mayor did not offer a public response to the specific allegations and no formal action was taken during the meeting.
The council took no public vote or directive on the matter in the transcript and the mayor emphasized that personnel matters are handled outside open session. The meeting proceeded to other reports and closed with a motion to adjourn.
