Resident alleges staff and attorney misconduct in water-department litigation, calls for terminations
Summary
During public comment Jonathon Pastore invoked Case No. 24-CVM-596 and alleged misconduct by City staff and the City Attorney in Water Department litigation, and asked the Board to terminate the City Attorney's contract and dismiss two employees; the transcript records the allegation but no Board response in open session.
A Havelock resident used the public-comment period to raise allegations of misconduct by City staff and the City Attorney related to litigation over a Water Department policy. Jonathon Pastore emphasized "for the record, Case No. 24-CVM-596," alleged that City policies had been improperly altered and urged the Board to terminate the City Attorney’s contract and dismiss two City employees.
The transcript records Pastore's allegations but does not record a response from staff or the Board in open session. The matter touches on personnel and litigation issues referenced elsewhere in the meeting’s closed-session agenda (NCGS 143-318.11(a)(3) and (a)(6)), but the public-record minutes do not show an immediate public rebuttal or any formal action taken in response to the comments during open session.
