this protocol.
The final issue is the gravest and needs the sunlight of truth. I, as
a seated council member for two years, have no idea of what is being
referred to as "possible wrongdoing by high-level officials." I took an
oath of office two years ago, as did my fellow council members when they
were seated. It would be malfeasance in office for me or any other
council member to have knowledge of wrongdoing by any city official and
not bring it to the attention of the other members. Council member
Conlosh has a duty to bring this to our attention in order for any
necessary action to be taken. Because this handout is in the public
realm, both the nature of the wrongdoing and the individuals involved
need to be attended to in public, not in a closed-session meeting.
"Freedom? Trust? Are we the citizens of Fountain Valley willing to
give these up?" No! Am I, one of your City Council members, going to take
these away? I answer with a resounding "No."
