Special City Council Meeting June 9, 2026

The City of Fairfield held a Special City Council Meeting on June 9, 2026, primarily addressing the investigation report concerning former Mayor Moore's residency and the resulting vacancy in the mayoral office. Legal counsel explained that since the mayor had resigned, the council had limited options regarding the quo warranto action, effectively resolving the matter. Public comments focused heavily on the controversy surrounding the mayor's residency, with speakers expressing a range of opinions about the investigation's legitimacy and its political implications. A significant procurement-related discussion involved a request for reimbursement of legal fees for the former mayor, with council members debating the appropriateness of using taxpayer funds for this purpose. Despite lacking specific reimbursement amounts, a motion to proceed with the reimbursement was passed by a majority vote. The meeting concluded with a call for community unity and healing following recent local tragedies.
