HR investigation?

Rumors are that Dotson is looking into this pool mess seriously. The HR lady is making some kind of investigation and will report to the Council tonight. Apparently they are waiting for some kind of word from Wilton Manors. Why didnt they do this BEFORE anybody was hired? Are they also lloking into the Hialeah jobs claimed? Gym vouched for the new Director- could it be he didnt do ANY of the standard checks one might expect? Doesnt sound like it. Was that another fabrication on Gyms part, or just laziness? It is NOT clear if the HR lady is looking into the complaints of the young ladies or not. It seems that only now is there a real vetting of the new Director. The HR lady apparently IS the one to look into the qualifications, work experience, etc. but its not clear she would be the best person to look into the young ladies complaints. We have profesional investigators on our police department - why are THEY not being requested by the Mayor and the Council to look into these allegations? The Chief seems to be a standup guy and would most certainly have a professional, impartial investigation done. A crude remark, or a touch on the arm, are mistakes but not the grounds for termination. Grabbing a butt, or other parts of the anatomy, or explicit offers are, of cousre, WAY out of bounds and ARE grounds for dismissal. We really dont know exactly WHAT happened yet, and may not until a complete investigation is done. Lets wait until ALL the facts are in before coming to any conclusions. Gym would like to sweep this whole thing under the rug, like the phantom Optimist connection, and the backroom secret handshake deals at the pool, but THATS not gonna happen.
