Residents press for code of ethics, call for resignation after alleged August 4 altercation
Summary
Multiple residents recounted an August 4 meeting they said included name‑calling and intimidation by Supervisor Bobby Macaulay and asked the board to adopt a code of ethics and consider sanctions; Chair McCaulay apologized during public comment but the board took no formal disciplinary action.
Three public speakers recounted an August 4 meeting in which they said Supervisor Bobby Macaulay called constituents 'liars' and used derogatory language; they urged his resignation and requested a board process for addressing member misconduct. Mark Reid and others said existing county documents lacked a clear code of ethics or an accountability process.
Chair McCaulay spoke from the dais during public comment and said, "If you felt threatened, spoken over, if I yelled at you, I sincerely apologize. That's not how I want to conduct myself." The board did not adopt any sanctions or a formal code at this meeting; several speakers urged adding a code of ethics to a future agenda. Supervisors acknowledged the concerns and said staff would follow up on process questions. The matter remains unresolved pending any future investigation or formal agenda item.
