Residents urge termination of employee and raise police, ethics concerns during public comment
Summary
Multiple residents called for the termination of Aaron Tipsword and raised police and council-text concerns; commenters requested disciplinary updates and one called for Alderman Fritch’s resignation.
During the public-comment portion of the meeting several residents addressed personnel and public-safety concerns. Gail Bowman and Louie Campbell asked that Aaron Tipsword be terminated; Mitch Mickiewicz requested an update on employee discipline regarding an incident involving his son and repeated the call for termination; Kelsey Mickiewicz said Alderman Fritch should resign. Several speakers, including Scott Durrant and Steven Johns, raised police concerns and discussed text messages exchanged between council members and the mayor.
The minutes record the requests and concerns but show no immediate personnel action taken at the meeting. The transcript records strong community dissatisfaction and requests for follow-up; the clerk or mayor’s office would need to provide formal next steps or disciplinary records if the council moves toward employment action.
