Speaking of those deleted emails, here's one the former city manager deleted.
Why does it matter? It added $3 million to the cost of the library project. The mayor, the former city manager, and the now-retired community development director were all involved with this.
Do you know who wasn't? The city council...the ones who had already approved a design AND budget. By the time this collusion was discovered, it was not possible to change the design without costing the city $1 million to revert it back because of work ordered by the manager and community development director when they withheld the unauthorized design change (and budget changes).
The mayor certainly didn't speak up, and in a meeting later in the fall of 2024, Gary Wolf confirmed the mayor was aware of these changes. We won't be surprised when we figure out other things like this that were done in those backdoor meetings. Its only millions of your tax dollars.
