It also raised questions about hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars set aside for internal investigations.
But the entire amount was gone in the first half of the 2025-2026 fiscal year and the grand jury said it could not confirm exactly how much was spent.
The grand jury said council members called for several internal investigations, but found little to no proof that they actually helped the city.
It concluded that all of that has hurt public trust, made it harder to run the city and helped drive experienced employees out.
Vice Mayor Jason Lee, who was at the center of that first investigation and has called for others, was not available for an interview, but said in a statement that the report confirms deeper failures in leadership, but leaves out important context.
The grand jury is now calling for mandatory governance and ethics training, stricter social media rules and steps toward creating a city ethics commission.
The city council will have 90 days to document how it plans to address conduct, professionalism and decorum.
