The night of the board meeting, September 24, 2024, after the special board meeting at 4:00 pm, I interviewed Ms. Hagen. She stated that the board was forced to take legal action against three board members because a community member was going to sue.
Here is my sunshine request.
I received a lot of documents today. I will be reviewing them and sharing them with you over the next couple of weeks.
Here is the community member she was referencing.
Scott Woosley is mentioned as a stakeholder for Nixa City in their Growth Plan.
He seems to be an “expert” in CCL bylaws, though he’s never mentioned in any of the emails I’ve seen related to the library from the Sunshine request.
His interpretation or his opinion about the by-laws isn’t binding for the library, nor does he have any authority in the matter. He’s like any other community member. He’s using “legal” terms, but that doesn’t make him a legal expert, per se.
Unless he is, but he has nearly zero social media presence. He doesn’t even have a LinkedIn page.
However, the Library lawyer, Harry Stryon, filed a lawsuit because of this email, according to Ms. Hagen, and used her as a plaintiff.
Now the question is, “Did Ms. Hagen lie to me in the interview about Mr. Woosley, or did someone lie to her about Mr. Woosley’s intentions?”
This man sounds like the Cigarette-Smoking Man in the X-Files of Nixa. What really happens behind closed doors in our county?
