Updated: Patrik Griego serves City Police Chief and Attorney

An item on the consent calendar regarding destruction of police records was requested to be pulled by Adam Laird's attorney Patrik Griego. He served the City Attorney and Police Chief with a long list of what records he wanted preserved minutes before the regular session, according to the City Attorney. Griego did show up few minutes before the meeting. When this item was discussed, Police Chief Mills said many of the records  from 2007 or before had been purged. A motion was made by Councilmember Atkins to hold over these items until the January meeting. When asked for advice by the Council, the City Attorney advised them that waiting until January "would not do any harm" and in a motion that passed unanimously, this item was held over.

Griego had the following to say after the City Council meeting: "I am pleased that the council did not vote to destroy records that are relevant to Sgt. Laird's case.  I am concerned that the City has not yet agreed to preserve the records. The law is clear that these records need to be preserved until the conclusion of any potential litigation involving Sgt. Laird".
