COUNCIL CONTINUED FROM A1
Government Accountability who is commonly referred to as the state’s Open Government Ombudsman, said that there is an Open Records Act exemption from disclosure when it comes to applications for employment. “I’ve always viewed this exemption as optional, not mandatory,” Ford said. “The city could choose to waive it if they want to.” Ford went on to say that cities “usually release because they want public feedback on who they should appoint.” Mayor Patty Lent said last week, and again over the weekend, that the documents would be made available. In addition, City Council President Greg Wheeler said late Tuesday afternoon that the documents should, and would, be turned over. The city council is set to interview the candidates, with a list of seven predetermined questions drawn up by Wheeler and councilwoman Faye Flemister, at 5 p.m. Feb. 4 at the Norm Dicks Government Center. “The special meeting is open to the public but there will be no opportunities for input,” according to a press release by the city. The council is set to adjourn to a 20-minute executive session following the interviews and choose Runyon’s replacement. Runyon announced his resignation Jan. 2 due to a pending move out of the city council district he has represented since 2008.
ASSAULT CONTINUED FROM A1
injury in the last 24 hours, causing the hematoma. Detectives interviewed Reeser, as well as the girl’s mother and 15-year-old brother. According to court documents, Reeser at first told detectives he was unaware of any trauma the girl might have experienced. Later, however, Reeser told detectives he went to her room to change her diaper and pulled hard on her leg. He pulled her entirely off the bed, her head struck the floor and she stopped responding. Reeser told detectives he had not been initially truthful because he was fearful and scared, court documents said. He was then placed under arrest for first-degree Assault of a Child. Wilson said in the event of the girl’s death, the charges will likely change.
