The Martinsville City Council voted 4–1 on April 28 to release the full workplace investigation by July 14, with clarifications added by attorney Steve Durbin of Sands Anderson.
Vice-mayor Kathy Lawson and council members Rayshaun Gravely, Aaron Rawls, and Julian Mei supported the move. Mayor L.C. Jones abstained, citing limited involvement, lack of access to materials, and concerns about the law firm’s appointment and possible conflicts of interest.
Rawls said the firm compiled facts to protect the city and ensure a clear public report.
