Overview
- District 1 Councilwoman Sukh Kaur filed a formal code-of-conduct complaint on Monday, triggering an independent investigation expected to take about two weeks.
- A memo from councilmembers Phyllis Viagran, Teri Castillo, Marina Alderete Gavito, Ivalis Meza Gonzalez and Misty Spears requests a special meeting within seven days of the findings to consider censuring the mayor.
- The complaint follows a Feb. 5 encounter in a staff-only area where Mayor Jones allegedly shouted at and cursed Kaur after a City Council meeting.
- The confrontation is reported to be linked to the Bonham Exchange dispute over missed sprinkler deadlines and reduced occupancy, which the club accepted after pressure the night before a planned council vote.
- City attorneys advised Kaur not to comment during the investigation, and the mayor’s office did not provide immediate comment in the reporting.
