Mayor Impeachment Hearing Moved to Ellisville Elementary
The elementary school will now serve as the stage for Ellisville Mayor Adam Paul's impeachment hearing.
The hearing surrounding Ellisville Mayor Paul's impeachment has been moved from Ellisville City Hall to Ellisville Elementary to accomodate a larger crowd.
Action to remove Paul from office was launched last month after a resident claimed Paul violated the city charter by using authority out of turn and ordering a police officer to remove a member of the public from meeting premises. The complaint was dismissed the same week city council passed a motion to draft a preliminary resolution to remove Paul from office.
The initial 11-page resolution included charges that Paul drank and used profanity on the job, recorded confidential meetings and usurped authority. Some charges were dropped at the council meeting last week. Paul, suspended from office since March 6, has denied all allegations.
