Complaints about a Surprise councilman who moved to California but still calls in to city meetings have bounced between government agencies that have declined to investigate.
Meanwhile, Surprise city leaders plan to bar council members from calling in to meetings, but the policy change will likely have no impact on Councilman Richard Alton.
That frustrates residents like Randy Miller who say Alton’s refusal to step down immediately will impact who may be appointed to the seat later. Residents have submitted at least two formal complaints to the city since Oct. 10.
