City disputes legal sufficiency in records request case
The council backed attorney Steven Ballard to handle the matter with the Public Information Board after Quezada filed a complaint claiming the mayor reckless in denying government records. The city had already turned over the information, costs estimated at 2500 dollars with potential further fees. Ballard says Quezada could withdraw, or the city may seek dismissal or administrative closure if she persists. The council voted 5-0 to continue Ballard’s representation.
