Public commenter alleges perjury and seeks city review of animal-control actions
Summary
A public commenter told council she intends to pursue legal action and asked for termination of city employees she accused of perjury in a dispute over an animal-control case and a taken service animal; mayor and staff directed her to the county attorney for investigatory remedies.
During the citizen comment period, Catherine Meyer accused city staff and officers of perjury and requested immediate termination of those involved in an animal-control case that resulted in her service animal being taken. Meyer said she has court recordings and evidence and that the alleged conduct has caused her substantial personal and financial harm.
Council members and staff advised Meyer that employment and criminal allegations should be taken to the county attorney or pursued through legal channels so they could be investigated appropriately; the mayor and staff offered to set a follow-up meeting with city staff and the city attorney to discuss next steps within legal process boundaries.
Council did not take action on the allegations during the meeting; staff pointed to appropriate external processes for criminal allegations and civil remedies.
