For months, residents banded together calling for City Manager Rochelle Small-Toney to resign or be dismissed from her role. Among other reasons, there was concern about a recent remodeling at Small-Toney's office and what appears to be a violation of rules that have city employees live in city limits.

Small-Toney also admitted there were some problems, but that she is working on them.

The full report has not yet been released to the public.
