Transcription
Mayor Krebsbach I would like to first read a statement to you that we have prepared. First of all, we
appreciate everyone being here tonight. I think from the strength of our Pledge of
Allegiance we are all interested in democracy and participation.
This is not something, the item we have before us, which is the termination of
Sergeant Bobby Lambert; this is not something the City Council or administration
takes lightly. It takes no pleasure in considering various discipline of an
employee. Mr. Lambert was promoted to the position of Sergeant in June 2015
with the hope and expectation that he would be a good candidate to serve in that
supervisory position. However, an outside complaint was made against Sergeant
Lambert. Following standard City protocol for situations of this magnitude, this
complaint was investigated by an outside independent agency. The results of that
investigation have been thoroughly reviewed and considered by the
Councilmembers, administration, and legal counsel, as well as the Chief of Police.
