Gorayeb was placed on paid administrative leave late on February 25. At the time, Frye told The Nugget that the complaints allege conduct that is not financial, physical, or sexual in nature. No immediate action resulted from the executive session, and another one will be scheduled for Thursday afternoon. “The timeline will be much clearer after that,” Frye said. The contents of the inves- tigator’s report have not been released to the public. Depending on the Council’s actions, the report may remain confidential. “If the report results in disciplinary action, it would be part of the city manager’s personnel file,” City Attorney Bryant told The Nugget. Frye acknowledged that the process has gone on for nearly six weeks now, and that all parties, including the citizenry, are looking forward to a resolution of the matter. “We’re sensitive to how long this is taking,” he said. “We’re doing everything we can to do this as appropriately as possible.” piano, taking her audience back to the halcyon days of the Hootenanny at The Troubadour in Los Angeles, where she honed her song- writing chops among greats such as Jackson Browne and Neil Young in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Bonoff covered Browne’s “Something Fine,” and had the crowd singing softly along with her self-penned hits “Isn’t It Always Love” and “Tell Me Why.” The singer-songwriter was accompanied throughout by ace guitarist Nina Gerber, who wove textured electric guitar around Bonoff’s lyr- ics in a way that accented and complemented each piece. The event featured an intermission that was as entertaining as the music — in its own unique way. Melvin Herburger con- ducted the live auction, assisted by Dan Fouts.

Auction items included a signed lyric sheet of Karla Bonoff ’s “All My Life,” signed CDs, and Jackson Browne tickets. The bidding was hot for that first item, which set the tone for an eve- ning of generous bids on fine art, a wine country adven- ture, golf with Dan Fouts and more. In all, the evening raised roughly $40,000 to support Sisters schools. The beneficiaries of that largess got their time in the spotlight, too. Megan Rose and Sedona Lauren opened the show, showcasing their collaboration developed over years in the school district-Sisters Folk Festival education partnership, The Americana Project. And guests enjoyed hors d’oeuvres prepared by students of the Sisters High School Culinary Arts program, under the guid- ance of their teacher, T.R. McCrystal.
