The attorney hired by the city of Clintonville to handle a resident’s complaint about Mayor Judith Magee issued a statement this week that a settlement is being finalized in the case.
Attorney Jim Kalny spoke following a closed session meeting with the Common Council on Monday. He said there would be no further action on the matter, and indicated he would report back by the end of August or early September about the settlement.
Tricia Rose filed her complaint against Magee in December. She accused Magee of of misconduct in office, abuse of power, theft of property, willfully destroying public property, releasing confidential information and concealing a crime. The filing is termed a Chapter 17 complaint.
Magee has been out of town for health reasons. She has not attended meetings the past month and has been unavailable for comment.
Rose, a local newspaper publisher, ran a write-in campaign against Magee in the 2014 mayoral election.
