During a recent city council meeting, tensions flared as Brady Preheim criticized the council's handling of contracts and relationships with local event organizers. Preheim expressed strong disapproval of an article published in the Chronicle, asserting that it misrepresented the council's position and actions. He emphasized that only the Mayor or the City Administrator, Mr. Walsh, should speak on behalf of the council, dismissing the article as inappropriate and filled with inaccuracies.

A significant point of contention was the cancellation of contracts with event organizers, which Preheim claimed undermined years of relationship-building within the community. He warned that the decision would have lasting repercussions, stating that local talent would be deterred from returning to the city due to perceived mistreatment. Preheim specifically mentioned the haunted house event, arguing that the new management, Treadway, lacked the necessary experience and connections to execute the event successfully.

He accused the council of allowing Treadway to mislead the city, suggesting that their plans amounted to little more than a superficial effort, exemplified by a costly pumpkin display. Preheim's remarks painted a dire picture of the council's current trajectory, labeling it a \"disaster\" and holding council members accountable for what he described as a failure to protect the city's interests. The meeting highlighted growing frustrations over the management of local events and the potential fallout from recent decisions.
