Residents say leaks and online attacks are creating hostile work environment for city staff
Summary
Several residents told the council that leaked personnel information and hostile social-media posts have created a difficult workplace for city staff; councilors acknowledged the problem but did not announce a formal investigation during the meeting.
Multiple residents told the council that leaked personnel information and online posts have created a hostile work environment for staff. A resident asked directly, "Is there anything legally that can be done? Because it is creating a hostile work environment," and said they wanted the council to publicly say what would be done if leaks continued.
Councilors acknowledged the concern, discussed the difficulty of identifying the leak source and urged internal restraint. The mayor said all aspects of the hiring process she was involved in "were lawful." Residents asked for clear public steps and for the council to commit to notifying the community when an internal response occurs; no formal disciplinary process or investigation was announced at the meeting.
