In regards to the Wild N' Out investigation, in August 2025 the council called for an independent investigation into the show that was held in May at the Stockton Adventist Health Arena. The concern was over an approximately $50,000 payment that was made to keep the show from being cancelled.
Vice Mayor Lee sent a press release about no violations being found on Friday and spoke about this on Tuesday before the council meeting.
The investigation report stated that "no councilmember had a prohibited financial interest in any contract associated with the event" and none "influenced a government decision regarding the event in which he or she had a financial interest".
"This is a council of chaos that continues to use political distractions to prioritize politics over the people," Lee said.
The report also stated their "investigation did not reveal facts sufficient to establish a legal violation under the applicable provisions of California or City law. However, the ethics laws define the minimum of permissible conduct. Ethical norms may go beyond legal requirements to further the fundamental principle that the interests of elected officials must remain aligned with the interests of the public they serve."
Vice Mayor Lee responded to Mayor Fugazi's press release about this on Tuesday.
Vice Mayor Lee also brought up another point he wanted to make regarding this situation and investigation, saying that "as a man of color, you know the standard is high".
One Stockton resident was calling for a refund of 20-or-so cents for every resident due to the $50,000 used from taxpayers' money.
"I just hope and pray that 2026 can start out new and peaceful," Leslie Hearon, Stockton resident, said. "There is so much love, generosity, and brainpower up there. That's why all of you were elected. I know if the bullying and insults would stop, both on the council and in the audience, our city could become a beacon on a hill and all media and surrounding towns would say, 'That town had a miracle from God.'"
"As we start this year, I also want to make a call for unity and to end the name-calling and division," Lester said. "These investigations are now over, so let's all move forward and continue to find positive solutions for our city. I want the city council, mayor, to prioritize citizens and the city over petty indifferences. Please ask yourself moving forward that if what you're doing is causing more division or is it actually solving a problem."
There were also discussions regarding the new city manager and talks on the Council Audit Committee report about the Committee's Charter Section 406 investigation into Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
