He stated that following the 2022 censure, Mrs. Kowalski forwarded privileged documents to Mr. Don Reed, which he said was improper and illegal. He further provided explanation for why this action was improper and illegal, citing a verified email from Don Reed and a court order holding that a portion of the records that had been forwarded to Mr. Reed were covered by the attorney-client privilege. He then made a motion to censure Mrs. Kowalski, invoking the Council's legislative authority to express its opinion that Mrs . Kowalski had acted improperly and should be verbally rebuked . Mr. Banweg seconded the motion and requested a recess. Dr. Goetz called for a point of order, asking whether Council Comments was an appropriate place for this type of motion.

City of Hudson, Ohio Page 3 City Council Meeting Minutes - Final October 15, 2024 Mr. Foster stated that the court found the documents to be privileged and while there are several routes Council could take, it was Council's duty to convey that this type of behavior will not be tolerated . Mrs. Kowalski responded that it took the court two years to rule on the lawsuit because it was not clear whether there was a partial or full waiver of privilege. She further stated that she has not been afforded due process for any of the attempts to censure, how she upheld her oath of office, and filed a lawsuit in an effort to clear her professional reputation. Dr. Bird questioned why Council was discussing this now and if any new information had been uncovered . Mr. Banweg reasoned that the present motion for censure did not move forward because the 2022 censure was in litigation, stating that the two parts of the case were whether Council had the authority to censure and that documents were privileged. He continued, saying that the judge ruled that Council does have the authority and that the privileged documents were released by Mrs. Kowalski. Mr. Banweg further addressed Dr. Bird's question about timing, stating that the judge's ruling was released in July . Mr. Sutton addressed Dr. Goetz's point of order regarding a motion during Council Comments, stating that any member can make a motion during this portion of the meeting. He further summarized his understanding of Mr. Foster's motion and different penalties, that this motion is only a verbal warning, and that he agrees that there was a violation of Ohio Revised Code concerning attorney-client privilege . Mrs. Heater stated that elected officials have a duty to uphold the oath of office and while everyone makes mistakes, she has seen no remorse or accountability from Mrs . Kowalski and would support the censure. Discussion followed concerning whether the documents were privileged and the subsequent actions taken by Councilmembers on receipt of the email forwarded by the resident .
