Here's what came out of the meeting."When the people ask me questions that I can't answer, I have to do something about it."Commissioner Beverly Nash called for a special meeting to look into the actions and decisions of city manager Robert Nixon and city clerk Janice Shackelford."I presented it. The citizens know I presented it, they know Im concerned."I spoke to Nixon and other Commissioners before the meeting.

Whenever there are questions from, the commission or citizens I think we need to be transparent and conduct our business," said Nixon.Another of Nashs concerns: not getting public records requests promptly from the city clerk. I asked Nixon why this was the case."She has to get it from other sources and there may be a delay on that end," Nixon told me.After reading Nashs concerns, commissioners do believe some city policies on hiring and utilities are outdated and unclear.Nash called for a forensic audit of the City Manager and the Clerks office.Other commissioners decided to hold off on that request.They believe Nashs reasoning wouldn't be enough to warrant the investigation."As an individual I can go to the city attorney's office and I have been talking to the state attorney and the attorney general's office. I will make myself known," Nash said.
