A week after reports surfaced that Vice Mayor Dee Andrews had allegedly threatened a fellow councilwoman, another female member of the City Council publicly called for a formal intervention to resolve lingering discomfort among the council.

In an emotional exchange at the end of Tuesday night’s meeting, Councilwoman Jeannine Pearce called for a formal intervention, saying that silence would only serve to keep the issue from going away.

She urged the council to talk about the issue and “put the conversation behind us.”

“I don’t think that ill intent was meant but that doesn’t change that what people say impacts people,” Pearce said. “The longer we don’t talk about it the longer we’re going to have mistrust.”

Andrews has been accused of verbally threatening Councilwoman Lena Gonzalez earlier this year in a private conversation, telling Gonzalez that she should “watch her back” or she might be hit by a bus.

In a statement released last week, Gonzalez said that the hostile work environment complaint she filed in May with the city attorney’s office had been closed in July with no explanation. She said that she had never encountered a situation like this in nearly 10 years of service with the city, and that it is “absolutely unacceptable” for anyone to feel unsafe in the workplace.

Her office declined to provide further comment on the matter when contacted Wednesday.

Pearce had previously told The Post that Andrews had made similar comments to her about “staying in her lane.” She said Andrews had even made it a point to walk over to her during a meeting to remind her “in her ear” not to leave her lane regarding a vote he didn’t want her expressing her opinion on.

She said that while others on the council might chalk it up to “Dee being Dee,” she perceived it as a political threat.

Pearce’s pronouncement was the last in a series of references to the issue Tuesday night, with multiple members of the public—including former councilwoman Tonia Reyes Uranga, the wife of Councilman Roberto Uranga—urging a public apology be made by Andrews.

Andrews did not address the comments until after Pearce’s plea for an intervention.

“I’m not the type of person that would threaten anyone,” Andrews said, adding that Gonzalez had misinterpreted what he said. He urged the council to move on.

On Wednesday, Pearce said that the council needs to ensure that “politics don’t get in the way of humanity.” She said her formal request to the city attorney will include a request that the situation be addressed in a way that “resolves the issue” between Gonzalez and Andrews.
