During the public‑comment period, two members of the public brought sharply different but substantive complaints to the Public Safety and Legal Administration Committee.

Lisa Anderson said she was wrongfully terminated after childbirth and characterized herself as a whistleblower. She named several city employees she said handled her case dismissively and thanked Council Members Antonio Lewis and Andrea L. Boone for support. Anderson urged other employees to file grievances and said the policy she was contesting applies only to entry‑level staff. "After being wrongfully terminated for childbirth and being the whistleblower last year..." she told the committee, naming officers and supervisors she said failed to respond.

Nikki Buggs described ongoing, life‑threatening safety problems at the Landmark condominium downtown, citing shootings, stabbings and a near‑fatal fire on Jan. 17 that she said remains unresolved and has led to related insurance litigation. Buggs said homeowners were displaced and living in motels while still responsible for taxes and asked whether the committee could help draft an ordinance or other remedies. Council members acknowledged the concerns and repeatedly directed Buggs to her district representatives (Council Member Bakhtiari and at‑large Council Member Matt Westmoreland) and cautioned that some remedies are constrained by state law.

Council members thanked both commenters for appearing, said staff or district representatives would follow up and noted that some allegations raised personnel or legal questions outside the committee’s immediate authority.
