Wednesday marks the first day of a hearing for her removal from office.<\/p>\n<p>The proceedings stem from a removal petition filed last August by Rachel Caballero, a long-time critic of the mayor. The petition cites a 2024 council vote that awarded $2 million for the Homewood Suites Project.<\/p>\n<p>The petition alleges the developer who received the funds used a presentation that included a doctored FEMA flood map. Caballero accuses Guajardo of misconduct, malfeasance, incompetence or willful neglect of her duties.<\/p>\n<p>Several law enforcement investigations found no criminal wrongdoing in the Homewood Suites deal.<\/p>\n<p>The City Council has several options, including referring the matter to the ethics commission, reprimanding or suspending the mayor, and removing her from office.<\/p>\n<p>For the latest local news updates, <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kristv.com\/news\/local-news\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">click here<\/a>, or download the <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kristv.com\/about-us\/kris-6-apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">KRIS 6 News App. <\/a><\/p>\n<p>Catch all the <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/KRIS6News\/videos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">KRIS 6 News stories and more on our YouTube page<\/a>.
