Ms. Butler states that her disclosure statement was filed by the city clerk on September 3, 2015. A request to the IT Division was made on January 12, 2016 asking if Ms. Butler's disclosure statement was transmitted on or around that date. The search results showed that the disclosure statement was not filed. The Board received disclosures from Councilman Bobby Ezeu, Police Chief Jimmy Lopez, Mayor Robert Kivett, and Councilman Lester McIntyre; however, Ms. Butler's pfd was not included with the other pfds from the Village of Richmond.
