Monterey's police chief has resigned after an investigation by the Comptroller's Division of Investigations revealed that a bulldozer owned by the town of Monterey ended up on the former police chief's property. According to a release from the State Comptroller, the equipment was only supposed to be used for law enforcement purposes and not be leased to others, sold or otherwise disposed of by the town in agreement with the military surplus office. Investigators also found that town officials improperly used a vehicle seized by law enforcement and kept an abandoned vehicle they were required by law to sell at public auction.
At Tuesday evening's City Council meeting, Mayor J.H. Graham III asked Interim City Manager Jack Miller about conduct at a staff meeting last week towards City Clerk Sally Oglesby. Mayor Graham didn't like how Miller spoke to Ms. Oglesby, and Mayor Pro-Tem Danny Wyatt moved to remove Miller from his position effective immediately. Councilman George Marlow stated he didn't have enough proof to make a decision on the matter, and the motion failed on a 2-2 tie, due to City Councilman Jesse Kerley being absent. Ms. Oglesby then asked to speak, and told of how she had been receiving abuse from Miller in his previous tenure as manager, and it had continued in Miller's stent as interim manager. Oglesby stated she was humiliated at last Friday's staff meeting and it was termed a "Sally Bashing" by a city employee. She stated that if the abuse was allowed to continue, she'd be forced to take legal action. The matter is set to be discussed at a special called meeting tentatively planned for June 24th.
