Excerpts from Dean Rohla response letter to Teamster 763 letter
No complaint was filed by Officer Fernandez.
Both Officer Fernandez and I had considered this event behind us. Then City Council member Dean Hachamovitch filed a Public Records Request (PRR 2022- 05-31) on May 31, 2022 for, “all complaints, written or oral, made against Dean Rohla since his employment with the city of Clyde Hill.”
