Mayor Norquist's portrayal of his encounters with Complainant (Ms. Figueroa) are untruthful. He came to Complainant's home uninvited and his sexual behavior was never characterized as "fun" as he now claims. Complainant characterized his predatory behavior as demeaning and unwelcome. (All those incidents have already been addressed in previous submissions to the Department.) Similarly, Mayor Norquist's claims regarding allegations made against Complainant related to the purchase of her current home are clearly false and defamatory in nature. Complainant never requested any type of assistance to purchase her home. The down payment Complainant made to purchase her home came from her children's fund, a bank loan and personal savings. (We invite the Mayor to produce any evidence which may support this unfounded claim!) The claims related to the fence placed at Complainant's property are total creations of Mayor John O. Norquist's imagination and are without merit. The Complainant offers the following response:

"The Mayor is simply grasping for facts and when they do not exist he makes them up. The FENCE: My brother-in-law built the fence in my home because I needed to secure my back yard as I have young children and nieces and nephews that are toddlers and I didn't want them to be unsafe. The only reason the mayor knows there is a fence at my house is because I applied for the required permit in order to comply with City Ordinances and as part of his predatory and controlling behavior he investigated everything I did personally as well as professionally. Again, the mayor does not understand that the harassment was not welcome and that sitting together or anywhere near him was in fact demeaning and frightening. I can provide you with a copy of the City Permit."

Similarly, Mayor Norquist's claim that he received hand-sewn clothing is another fabrication without any merit. Complainant did in fact make a scarf for another staff member as a Christmas gift, as she had picked his name from an office Christmas drawing. Upon information and belief, Mayor Norquist confronted Complainant and demanded she make one for him. Obviously it never happened.
