¶10 In December 1999, Shoemaker received some questions and comments from citizens concerning the settlement of Denke’s complaint. In addition, he heard a rumor that the City had paid $15,000.00 to settle the case, though the terms of the settlement agreement he had voted to approve did not include any such payment. Shoemaker felt defensive as a result of the public comments and speculation, and he worried that his constituents might blame him for an excessive settlement. Thus, he decided to respond publicly. To that end, Shoemaker requested that the mayor put him on the agenda for the next City Council meeting. The mayor did not do so.
