City of Mount Pleasant

WHY THIS PROFILE IS HERE

Role in the paper trail

Previously identified as the City's development-services director; the FY 2026–2027 budget places Barrett in a planner role and lists the director position as vacant. She is named on the October 17 City–DSHS meeting invitation and in correspondence about the TLE notice. The invitation does not establish attendance.

CHRONOLOGY

Key dates & context

  1. Source record

    City–DSHS meeting arranged for October 17

    Milan Patel asks Ankrum to discuss a complaint in the City’s jurisdiction. Ankrum agrees to 10 a.m. the next day. The invitation schedules October 17, 10–11 a.m. Central, with Patel organizing and Martinez, Barrett and Ankrum invited; Webster is optional. Kyle identifies this as the Teams discussion of his complaints before the October 28 joint inspection. The linked scheduling exchange comes from DSHS; the linked City records are Ankrum’s and Webster’s acceptances.

    Context, limits & source references

    Kyle says he has not received City meeting notes, a recording or a substantive account beyond the accepted invitations. The scheduling records establish the planned discussion, rather than its complete attendance, actual discussion or decisions. DSHS separately names the October 28 on-site participants.

  2. Source record

    TLE notice revised after Barrett’s suggestion

    The original October 20 notice expressly records a complaint about auto-lube work before the October 17 visit and identifies a fire-alarm issue and correction. Ankrum’s email says Barrett suggested removing the work-without-permit reference; the revised notice retains the fire-related finding.

    Context, limits & source references

    The original also says “No permits are required” and cites a lake-property provision. Both notices retain the fire-related citation and correction. This is not proof that a valid permit violation was knowingly erased.
