A majority of the Howe City Council voted on Sept. 5 to formally censure Mayor Carla McDonald for conduct the council described in a circulated resolution.
A council member moved "to formally censure mayor Carla McDonald for substandard behavior as dictated in Moni's statement and the statement that I posted to social media," and the motion was seconded. The presiding officer called for the ayes; the council recorded no opposition on the voice vote and the motion carried.
The censure is a public expression of disapproval and does not remove an elected official from office or alter legal rights, a point the mayor emphasized in her remarks that a formal censure should rest on verifiable facts. The council placed the censure (Resolution 2026-0004) on the meeting agenda and voted on it in open session. The meeting adjourned at 11:45 a.m.
