SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — An investigation has determined that a Utah mayor displayed aggressive behavior that violated city policies.
The Salt Lake Tribune reported Monday that an outside investigator found Grantsville Mayor Brent Marshall engaged in conduct that constituted “clear violations” of the city’s employee code.
The 16-page report commissioned by the Grantsville City Council last year included 24 interviews and cost $5,000.
Some of those interviewed call Marshall an occasional “bully” who often “raise(s) his voice at others” and “puts everyone on edge” through inappropriate workplace conduct. Others say his behavior was harmless.
No one in the city about 36 miles (58 kilometers) west of Salt Lake City filed a formal complaint, but some said they hoped speaking out would improve the mayor’s behavior.
Marshall did not respond to a request for comment.
