The Brooklyn Park City Council voted to censure Councilmember Boyd Morson of the Central District on Monday night after violating the city’s “respectful workplace policy” and the elected officials code of conduct policy.
The censure was expected after last week’s vote directing the city’s attorney to draft a resolution to that effect, which is what members voted on last night. Only Morson voted no against the resolution.
