Resident serves KORA requests; council members say they will follow city attorney advice
Summary
During public comment Wellington Butler served KORA requests on three council members; council discussion noted the city attorney disagreed with the request terms and at least one participant said they would follow the attorney's guidance.
During the public-comment portion of the Nov. 4 meeting, resident Wellington Butler served KORA requests on Councilmember Adam Clark, Janice Fine and Councilmember Kathy Miller.
Councilmember Adam Clark told Butler that the city attorney does not agree with the terms of the KORA request and that he would follow the attorney's guidance. Janice Fine said she also would follow the direction of the city attorney and would not submit information related to the request. The minutes record these statements but do not describe any additional legal filings or outcomes.
The minutes identify the event as a public-comment item and do not record a formal motion or vote related to the KORA requests. The notation does not state whether the city attorney provided written guidance or the legal basis of the objection; the minutes refer only to the city attorney's position. Additional records or a direct statement from the city attorney would be needed to clarify the legal posture and any next steps.
