Resident raises ongoing police misconduct complaint during Myrtle Creek council public comment
Summary
During public comment at the Oct. 7 meeting, resident Kenneth Stone told the council he is dealing with an ongoing issue involving the Myrtle Creek Police Department. The minutes record his statement but show no formal council action or staff response in the meeting record.
During the Oct. 7 Myrtle Creek City Council meeting resident Kenneth Stone addressed the council during the citizen comment period to report an ongoing issue he is having with the Myrtle Creek Police Department.
The minutes state that Stone "spoke to Council regarding an ongoing issue that he is having with the Myrtle Creek Police Department." The record does not include a direct quote, a request for a specific remedy, nor any immediate staff direction or council action in response to his remarks.
No subsequent discussion or recorded follow-up motion appears in the minutes. The council proceeded with its agenda items, including votes on a budget transfer for police radios, a library learning garden MOU and a camp host stipend. The meeting adjourned at 6:36 p.m.
Because the minutes note Mr. Stone's concern without recording a response or staff assignment, anyone seeking an official response or investigation status should contact city staff or the city recorder for further information (the minutes do not specify follow-up steps).
