The City of Morrow has taken the first step in possibly removing City Councilmember John Lampl. An ordinance has been introduced that outlines a procedure for conducting hearings for city officials the city council believes should be removed from office.
Last month, the council voted in favor of seeking a hearing to remove Lampl from office, after a city-authorized investigation determined he had created a "hostile work environment" for the city's finance director, Dan Defnall. The new ordinance was written City Attorney Laurel Henderson in response to the council's vote, because the city did not have an established process to conduct a removal hearing.
