Incompetence and Cover up in City Hall...... Let me highlight a few things as recorded by the Citys Clerk.. Lets Start right at the Top with Interim City Manager Mike Wade.. Commissioner Dowdell asked when we would get the budget. The Manager stated by August 28th. Commissioner Dowdell stated that the Charter stated the Commission should receive the budget by August 15th... ( He cant do the job) (The Manager throws his Human Resources Director Bessie Evans under the bus) Dowdell asked do we have a policy of destruction of documents. Ms.Evans Human Resources Director stated that Chapter 19 is the policy for retention. Commissioner Dowdell stated destroying personnel documents is a felony. Ms. Evans stated that forms that are not acted upon are discarded. Commissioner Dowdell stated you don’t destroy items in personnel files that is a crime. He stated that he has the policy from the City and the State. He stated that the form should have been in that person’s personnel file and should not have been destroyed. Commissioner Dowdell stated that he told the Manager that the action that was taken was criminal. The Manager stated he would look into the matter.Commissioner Dowdell asked if the Human Resources Director followed his direction to destroy the record. The Manager replied no she didn’t... ( So did she do it on her own ?) City Manager asked the Commissioner If this was day to day regarding personnel matters. Commissioner Dowdell stated this is about my records request that what is it that you are trying to hide.. Interim City Manger Mike Wade Fabricates applications and hires friends tries to place blame elsewhere.. Commissioner Dowdell asked the Manager if this was a contract between the City and an employee that was hired under the Smart-grid contract. The Manager stated this document was executed under the previous Manager and he would have to examine the document to see exactly what it is. Commissioner Dowdell stated the on the application the question asked why did you leave the employment of the city, the answer was retired. The City Manager stated that he didn’t see the reason why he left the City. Commissioner Dowdell you didn’t look at the application you just hired him because you knew him. The city Manager stated again Commissioner you are in day to day. Commissioner Dowdell stated in this open and public meeting I can ask you anything I am not telling you to do anything. Commissioner Dowdell stated that the personnel action form stated the employee resigned that is falsification. The form stated that the personnel action status change was from Scada engineering contractor to full time employee ( a White Guy) .....Commissioner Dowdell told the City Manager that he terminated an employee ( Black Guy)because he refused to take a drug test and his name was not on the list to be tested. The policy stated employees are to be tested random not contractor employees..... Commissioner Dowdell made a motion to initiate a 15-6 investigation. Commissioner Gay seconded the motion.Commissioner Gay stated that the Commissioner deserves an answer and this is the proper venue to get the item resolved Commissioner McMillan asked how far back we are going on this investigation because Mr. Wade has only been here a few months...LOL... (subtly trying to blame Jack Mclean) ..He been gone 5 months, it aint his fault... And our favorite puppet sat quietly looking lost the whole meeting and ONCE AGAIN Commissioner Brown stated that at Key and 3rd Street is a pot hole is the street.....Commissioner Brown stated that at Key and Clark Streets there are some code enforcement issues... He should just apply for a job in PUBLIC WORKS...SMH We should come to City Hall and demand that our Commissioners Terminate Mike Wade and find a Qualified Replacement !!!! Chief Walter Mcneil shouls be Interim until a more Qualified permanent is hired.. !!!! They fire him or we get rid of them !!! simple as that !!!! We hold the power not them !!!! Dont be fooled !!!
