Public Comment

1:01 → 2:38(1m 37s)

A resident identified in the record as David Allen (citizen commenter) alleged that a municipal judge had not been properly sworn in by counsel, asserting that "every single decision in all the courts that she's held since May are subject to be voided" and warning the council of possible legal liability to the city. He raised an EEOC complaint and urged the council to consult legal counsel; councilmembers responded by moving toward executive session to discuss potential liability.
