Summary

Multiple commenters asked the council to release the personnel-investigation report and to provide public records and audit results; one speaker formally requested the city attorney report closed-session vote tallies.

Terry Raines told the council she had filed a public-records request and that the records request was denied after a two‑week delay; she asked City Attorney Bettenhausen to "please consider this a formal request for you to report out the roll call vote tally of any votes taken during today's closed session."

Commenters said transparency is necessary to restore public trust and several cited union 'no confidence' votes and press coverage as reasons the investigation should be released or audited. City Attorney Bettenhausen reported after closed session that the council "had a discussion, and they provided direction," and did not release the report or vote details during the open meeting.
