CITY, ND – (NewsDakota.com) Valley City Mayor Bob Werkhoven is urging more transparency in city government.

In a news release Mayor Werkhoven questioned the way City Administrator David Schelkoph handled alleged complaints by police department personal against Police Chief Fred Thompson and the “Toy Gun” incident involving the police chief.

Werkhoven says he was surprised that the city administrator never informed the Mayor of the city concerning these incidents or allegations against Thompson.

Werkhoven believes some of the grievances issued in news releases by three city employees (David Schelkoph, David Swenson and Fred Thompson) and one contracted employee for the city (Russ Myhre) are false.

Below is a news release by Valley City Mayor Bob Werkhoven.
