The City Attorney’s Office completed a review Friday, March 10 of a complaint filed on March 7. The complaint alleged that mayoral candidate Wayne Williams’ campaign violated city code by using images of Colorado Springs firefighters and facilities in a campaign advertisement.
Following a review conducted by the City Clerk’s Office and the Human Resources Department, reasonable grounds do not exist to establish a violation of city code § 5.2.303 or initiate enforcement action in Municipal Court. The review found that no City resources were used to film the equipment, personnel, buildings, or logos of the Colorado Springs Fire Department contained in the advertisement.
