There was a roll call before the meeting started and three out of seven showed up. So, the special meeting needed to be adjourned.
"I think all of us took an oath to represent the people of this community with integrity and respect and transparency and, most importantly, accountability," Vice Mayor Lee said. "And the fact that we didn't show up and the public did, speaks volumes."
"These are very serious concerns involving campaign donors, the commitment of public funds without council approval of city manager authorization, those are very significant things," Vice Mayor Lee said. "This is not like voting on what donut shop to go to or whether or not we want to pass a Jack-in-the-Box."
"We all voted to be here, three of us showed up, others did not, and I don't know why," Vice Mayor Lee said.
"During our regularly scheduled meeting, I clearly stated that I was not available," Mayor Fugazi said. "My calendar has had a prior engagement for weeks. Additionally, it is not my intention nor desire to participate in the Vice Mayor's constant attempt to take the focus off of bettering the life of our residents, reducing crime, homelessness, and bringing more resources to our city to join in his attempt to turn our city into his reality show."
"As we look at different things that happen in our government, not everybody understands it," Mayor Fugazi said. "When we look at our filings, the FPPC filings, if people have questions about that, you go to FPPC. If you have questions about process, you go to the city clerk or the city attorney. When you enter into government, you don't automatically understand those things."
Vice Mayor Lee addressed this on Thursday, stating, "I think investigations are necessary; it's an important part of every process to get to the facts. I've never dodged an investigation or inquiry."
Mayor Fugazi was also hurt by the comments Vice Mayor Lee made on social media towards her.
Vice Mayor Lee also addressed this on Thursday.
One of the other parts of Mayor Fugazi's ad hoc investigation will be about questioning whether or not Vice Mayor Lee's primary residence is in Stockton or the greater Los Angeles area.
At Mayor Fugazi's press conference on Tuesday, she talked about the donation.
