Report Recommends a TSCM Sweep of City Hall

According to the report*, many staff members worry there are bugs in city hall that an exterminator cannot remove.

So much so, that one of the official recommendations is to sweep city hall.  


"The Council should retain an outside firm to conduct a sweep of City Hall for bugs or other surveillance or electronic devices," the report reads. "While it is doubtful that any such devices exist in City Hall, there is a clear and present perception among staff that the facility is not secure and possibly bugged. Many employees in the City have resorted to the use of their personal cell phones and often leave the premises to discuss sensitive matters. A sweep of City facilities would help restore confidence in the security and privacy of the City buildings."

The findings of fact revealed that "based on credible and objective evidence, Police Chief Debra Duncan secretly tape recorded former City Manager Wayne Herron." (more)

"the report" aka "The Fox Report" - "Attorney Anthony Fox led the team of two attorneys, Sarah Hutchins and Mary Crosby. They interviewed about 24 people, including current and former employees." "The report cost $50,000." 

A sweep of the sensitive City Hall areas would have cost less than 1/4 of that. ~Kevin
