The Royal Oak City Commission on Monday will consider a resolution to censure Commissioner Kim Gibbs and request that she immediately resign after she attended a mass protest in Lansing last week and did not wear a mask and maintain social distancing.

The resolution was requested by Mayor Pro Tem Patricia Paruch and supported by Commissioners Sharlan Douglas and Kyle DuBuc, according to the agenda posted online Thursday.

Gibbs, who attended the April 15 rally to protest Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's stay-at-home order, previously told Mayor Mike Fournier that she would not resign from her four-year seat when he asked her to "strongly" consider doing so.

On Thursday, Gibbs told the Free Press: "I have retained counsel and I have no comment at this time."

The nearly three-page resolution states reasons to censure Gibbs "for her violation of her oath of office, her violation of executive orders issued under the Michigan Constitution and state laws, and in violation of her duty to protect the public health and safety. We respectfully request that Commissioner Gibbs immediately resign her office as city commissioner."

Gibbs also is facing harsh criticism and calls for her resignation on social media. She told the Free Press on Monday: "I broke no law. I'm not in trouble. I did nothing to justify a request to resign."

Fournier previously said the commission doesn't have the ability to remove Gibbs from office. He said Whitmer could, but he didn't believe the governor would take this on in the midst of the global COVID-19 pandemic that as of Thursday has killed nearly 3,000 people in Michigan and infected more than 35,000.

The Royal Oak police chief is among those who tested positive for the virus.

Fournier, a Democrat, said residents could try to recall Gibbs. No recall petition language had been filed with the Oakland County Elections Division as of Thursday afternoon.

Gibbs, an attorney, said she was at the protest to support small businesses that are not getting help or were put out of business for the shutdown. She admitted to not wearing a mask but said she was maintaining social distance at the demonstration.

The resolution says video and still photos from the event show her mingling in the crowd in front of the Capitol, sometimes less than 6 feet away from others.

Gibbs said Fournier is motivated by her constant opposition to his policies, according to a news release Thursday with a response from Gibbs to critics on "Take Back Royal Oak" coalition letterhead.

On Monday, Gibbs said she has not left her house since returning from the demonstration and that she received a threat on her personal cellphone that she reported to Royal Oak Police. She said it "was not a death threat, but it was incredibly creepy, and it's made me think twice about leaving my house."

On Thursday, she said the police are patrolling her street a little more often, doing a check and "doing what they promised."

Police Lt. Al Carter said Thursday that the report "is now closed with no arrests or charges." He said the magistrate denied the search warrant on the phone call "due to no threat or crime."

Gibbs has been on the City Commission since 2017, and admitted that she is in the political minority on the nonpartisan board.

She also is a Republican candidate for county commissioner in November, vying for the seat held by board Chairman Dave Woodward, a Democrat. Gibbs said Monday that she planned to continue her run for the county seat and would not be withdrawing her candidacy.
