At a glanceWhere Council stands on the Peterson caseApril 13Four of the seven council members vote to reappoint Peterson to the planning commission, even though they had received the secret report about his dispute with the tow-truck driver. Councilmen Keith Reckdahl and Pat Burt were working on a separate memo to release a report on Peterson’s actions at the tow yard, but the memo hasn’t made the agenda yet. “His repeated invocation of his role appeared intended to influence the outcome of a private commercial matter in his favor,” the tow yard owner said in a complaint. Burt said he gave Peterson an opportunity to respond to the investigation, but Peterson “was unresponsive and even deceptive.” Negative reviewThe tow yard owner forwarded the city a negative online review that Peterson left for his business after picking up the car for $494.
