"The Santa Rosa City Council censured Dianna MacDonald on Tuesday for engaging in reportedly negative and offensive behavior toward city employees in a case stemming from her personal relationship with a city staffer. MacDonald was the lone opposition when the council, at the end of its regular meeting, endorsed the findings of a city investigation that determined her actions violated the council's code of conduct and the city's anti-harassment policy."
"A tearful MacDonald, in a prepared statement she read from the dais, apologized for her conduct and said she was committed to learning from the experience and to reaffirming her duties as a council member. I want to sincerely apologize for any of my actions that made anyone feel uncomfortable, especially our city staff. For that I'm truly sorry, she said. But she said while she respected the investigative process, was willing to participate in further training"
The Santa Rosa City Council voted to censure Dianna MacDonald for reportedly negative and offensive behavior toward city employees tied to her personal relationship with a city staffer. A city investigation found that her actions violated the council's code of conduct and the city's anti-harassment policy, and the council endorsed those findings with MacDonald as the lone opponent. The censure does not remove her from the seven-member council, but the mayor said he will pursue removing her from city-related boards and commissions. MacDonald apologized tearfully, expressed willingness to undergo training and policy updates, but said she disagreed with some findings and recused herself during a related policy vote.
