At public comment, property owner Aidan Fogel alleged widespread, unlawful practices by the city's building, housing and planning department and asked council to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate what he described as coercive enforcement practices and contractual breaches tied to a city program he called "clean and clean." Fogel claimed his corporation was assessed more than $150,000 in fines and said the city later negotiated to drop liens only if he allowed demolition of his property. He said he ultimately lost property to foreclosure and paid the city to avoid further foreclosure.

Fogel said the chief building official authorized assessments without competitive bids from three contractors and that the city breached agreements made by the safety/service director. He urged council to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate alleged coercion, retaliation and constitutional violations. Council took the testimony under advisement; no formal motion or referral was recorded in response to the public comment.

Other commenters raised concerns about criminalizing homelessness and questioned administrative processes. Councilmembers acknowledged the concerns and indicated that matters involving potential legal or enforcement misconduct could require review by the law department; Fogel specifically requested a special‑prosecutor appointment but council did not vote to do so during the meeting.
