She proposed an independent third-party review with confidential reporting, but faced pushback from colleagues who called for more time, especially after the County Manager suggested a closed-door executive session.

Grant temporarily withdrew her motion, planning to reintroduce it after the executive session — signaling this issue is far from resolved.
