…continually yelling in a crowded restaurant, while on City business, in a foreign country, stating, “I’m the Mayor!!!” and continuously exclaiming that he is the Mayor and how dare I (Davis) question him on this matter.
Who would have known with seven council you get egg roll? The Mayor that is… Mayor Bailey that is…in Jiahang, China that is….in a Chinese restaurant that is….that he stated in the most stately way that he is the the Mayor, to Councilman Paul Davis that is…. Got your attention? The following is a Code of Ethics and Conduct Complaint issued and filed August 1, 2014 by Councilman Paul Davis against Mayor William “Rusty” Bailey for an incident which occurred in the country of China.

Mayor Bailey is being charged with violating Riverside City Charter Section 201, Government Code 6252.5 & 6252.7 and will full & intentional interfering with a lawful public records request. Not done yet, Riverside City Charter Section 300, 406, 407, 600 and 701. Lastly, City of Riverside Resolution No. 22546.
The main gust is that Mayor Bailey directly interfered with a lawful public records request by Councilman Davis, by directly requesting City Manager Scott Barber not to give him those records! Davis made a public records request a list of all employees who have left the city in the last 180 days, and who will be leaving. During email exchanges with Davis, the City states the information does not exist, in a later email the information does exist.

The complaint states that Bailey admits he interfered with the Public Request Act by making this statement in the crowded restaurant: “I will not allow the City Manager (Barber) to provide you with the requested report, as you are only going to use it against Scott!!!”
In the complaint Davis states that Bailey failed to maintain order, decorum and civility in a public place: “When asked why he (Bailey) was yelling, he had no response, yet continued to act unprofessionally, yelling again, and acting quite childish and in a visibly offensive posture.”
But this does not stop there, regarding the Soubirious and Davis Investigation done by the City, the actions that occurred as a result of the recent Soubirous hearing, July 22nd, will be submitted to the Riverside Grand Jury for review. Below is a statement to the Riverside Grand Jury by Councilman Davis.

For more than two decades I was involved in responding to request for public information from a California City and State Agency. In all those years not a single request for public information was deemed to be an ethical violation, a criminal act or a violation of the Brown Act. I expect an elected official to make inquiries when they observe something out of the ordinary. It is called a fiduciary obligation! – Monrow A.

Proof Mayor Bailey is not qualified to by Mayor and the violations started when he took office. If Riverside were a business with Bailey in charge it would be in Bankruptcy now. The problems started when he took office and had a citizen arrested for speaking over 3 minutes, arresting an attorney for clapping and the hidden violations working with corrupt City Attorney. Power over drive Mayor Bailey thought he was king. He had City Attorney Priamos making up laws. Priamos lasted a long time by letting the deputy city attorney’s do his dirty work. Well things were different under Brad Hudson who everyone knew to stay silent or pay for speaking out. Brad quickly skipped out when his crimes caught up with him. Code Enforcement Director Scott Barber was ready to take orders and get that money. Bailey needed someone who worshipped and followed orders and Barber was the man. Barber had no experience but that is what Bailey and Priamos needed. Well the documents are proof of violations under State and Federal laws. Now the State is going to investigate and the Feds. Many will turn on each other to save themselves. As Davis brings his facts the shocker will be how close the corrupt DA and City Attorney did in Red Lining that cost thousands of people illegal foreclosures. What was sad to see is even the local NAACP caught up in the city corruption by making DA Zellechbach Man of the Year for votes. One charge against the City Council/Mayor that will be easy to get a guilty finding is the violation of the Brown Act twice. Each Board member and elected official has to take the training by law to understand State laws. Well it seems the current council and Mayor ignored that law too. Well the taxpayers will see mounting lawsuits to be paid with tax dollars and nothing will change unless the citizens do recall for the corrupt current officials. As for Scott Barber he just isn’t as slick as Brad and sloppy by giving proof to investigators.
Oh! Don’t forget that Mayor Bailey was refusing to let Ms. Phyllis Purcell speak because she wrote item 21 instead of 27!!
Excuse me! She had a senior moment. She has always been respectful whenever she speaks at City Council meetings. And, she is a Senior Legislator! She deserved respect and consideation! Thanks to two coucilmen, Andy Melendrez and Mike Soubirous, for making sure Phyllis’ rights were protect and insisted to the Mayor to let her speak!
Rusty, quit being an ageist! We all can’t be thirty something !!!
