Tensions between The Dalles City Councilor Darcy Long-Curtiss and some other members of the Council and Mayor Steve Lawrence bubbled to the surface on Monday night as an open hearing on complaints against her took place, but in the end there was no motion made to attempt any sort of sanction.  Councilor Taner Elliott opened the proceeding in front of a crowd in the Council Chambers of mostly Long-Curtiss supporters, saying she had made statements on social media and to The Dalles Chronicle in a front page story in the publication’s February 16 edition that violated Council rules.  Long-Curtiss, who said she had little advance notice to prepare a statement, said she didn’t express her opinions to be antagonistic or mean, but also said the process has made her worried about what she can and can’t say, adding Lawrence had called her to a meeting on February 13 that was supposed to be about homelesseness, but when she arrived City human resources director Daniel Hunter was also there and the meeting was about her statements.  Lawrence later said he had e-mailed her twice before about having such a meeting but she did not reply, to which Long-Curtiss said she had been sick.  Long-Curtiss’ lawyer, Bradley Timmons, said his client had not violated any Council rules and the process needed to be stopped, and Council legal counsel Gene Parker said he had been advised by the Council’s insurance attorney to “tread cautiously.”  Councilor Tim McGlothlin said he felt the Council’s rules of conduct needed another level to address internal squabbles with some dialogue with a third party present, noting he feared a loss of confidence in the Council from citizens on both sides unless cooler heads prevail.
