Madden Firm Investigative Report Attorney Filla explained the summary contains a fair amount of personnel data, some of which is classified as non public. If the Council wanted to talk about the report in generalities and not about specifics of the allegations or the result of the investigation, it can talk about it in public Council member Johnston asked the attorney what they need to do to make the conclusion public. Filla responded that the Minnesota data practices law prevented the Council from releasing any portion of the report to the public. The City could send the Madden report to the State's Commissioner of Administration for clarification of what is public or private. Once the Commission of Administration has made a determination, everybody's protected. Attorney Filla reported that both the Washington County Attorney's office and the Sheriff's Department concluded that no criminal action has occurred and the Madden Report was not a criminal investigation.
