"I think it's important for people to understand why we're doing this. The only reason this is coming about is specifically because of his actions toward staff,"
"I want to make sure that I'm letting staff know that we in the city of Oakley will not tolerate this behavior at any level up to and including ourselves. We have to hold ourselves just as accountable as you would expect our city staff to hold themselves accountable."
"to protect the integrity of the City of Oakley and restore public confidence,"
A third-party investigation found that Oakley Councilmember George Fuller allegedly engaged in bullying and retaliatory behavior toward city staff, prompting a censure resolution and a call for his resignation. Mayor Shannon Shaw authored the resolution and characterized Fuller’s conduct as a pattern affecting staff, fellow councilmembers, elected officials, and constituents. The City Council will consider formal action; the council cannot remove an elected official absent criminal conviction or legal disqualification but can express disapproval. The resolution urges resignation to protect city integrity and recommends Fuller attend professional development on workplace harassment prevention and ethics. Fuller referred inquiries to his lawyer.
