"Council takes allegations of harassment very seriously and wish to be clear that it directed that city personnel take appropriate steps in accordance with city policies, bylaws and procedures to address the matter, and that resolution has been concluded in a manner that respected the request of the employee in this case as well as the process which governs all employers," the release states.
