50 pages of information include letter from chief
City government released more than 50 pages of documents about police Chief Randy Scott, but they did little to answer questions surrounding his request for leave.
The files, released after multiple media outlets requested information under the Freedom of Information Act, include Scott’s letter asking for time off, a four-sentence note that cites personal reasons for his indefinite leave.
“I have some personal issues to take care of,” Scott wrote in the April 1 letter. “I will return immediately once I have addressed some tasks I have to complete.”
The documents also include City Manager Teresa Wilson’s letter appointing Deputy Chief Ruben Santiago acting chief and Scott’s internal personnel file, which makes no mention of his leave.
A notice posted by the city said requests for internal investigation files and disciplinary actions didn’t return any files.
Wilson said some concerns about Scott had been brought to her attention; she declined to elaborate on what they included.
Before he took leave, Wilson said those issues were under review and that he had faced the possibility of disciplinary action.
Wilson would not say whether the reviews were still underway.
