Editor’s note: The Woodside Town Council agreed to a settlement with Nancy Reyering, paying $35,000 to cover her legal fees, on Nov. 14, 2017.
Here is the text of a statement by Nancy Reyering, who announced her resignation Feb. 3 from the Woodside Architectural and Site Review Board and the Open Space Committee.

“Frankly, I remain mystified as to how the Town could launch a such a costly ethics investigation when all I did was advocate for the same high standards that the Mayor endorsed in his statement. With that in mind, I would be happy to see the council leave this ugly chapter as it stands and turn its focus to finally addressing the ethical issues I outlined in my desk item. I stand firm in my belief that council members should take pains to avoid the appearance of being privileged when they bring projects before Town bodies such as the planning commission and the ASRB.
“I am glad to see that Mayor Livermore understands the need for additional training for elected and appointed volunteers to the Town. I would also like to see a substantive change in policy to ensure that this type of vendetta-driven selective prosecution cannot take place in the future. And I think the Town would do well to clarify and enforce a policy that addresses conflicts when members of the Town Council bring private business before subordinate boards, whether in person or through a surrogate such as their spouse (as was the case in the matter at hand).”
Nancy — you keep making vague accusations without names, dates and actions commited.
Which meeting, what day, and what person?
The minutes are all a matter of public record, so spit it out.
Nancy:
you need only look in the mirror for the cause of your troubles.
