After seeking records of Alex Woodley’s City of Reno phone records for the past two years when he was Code Enforcement director, Our Town Reno received these screenshots in a redacted folder from what was his official phone, including one which appears to be of male genitalia.
We emailed Woodley, who is an elected Washoe County School Board Trustee for a comment, but did not hear back.
“Trustee Alex Woodley is a duly elected official,” Chad Hartley, from the Washoe County School District, wrote back to Our Town Reno when asked about this most recent development. “Any questions regarding his personal matters or any associated allegations need to be directed to him or his previous employer.”
The City of Reno says Woodley resigned earlier this month from the high level well paid job but did not give a reason why. Woodley had worked two decades with the city until his resignation and has served on multiple local boards. His last Transparent Nevada Reno salary in 2021 had him at over $238,000 in pay and benefits.
Woodley was elected to the Washoe County School Board of Trustees seat for District E in June after initially being selected to that seat to replace Angie Taylor who departed midterm several years ago.
Woodley’s LinkedIn now has him listed as retired. A week ago he wrote “I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new position as Retired at Freelance!” which got positive reactions from 77 people and 39 congratulatory comments.
Included in the information provided by the City of Reno were multiple videos of women dressed in racy outfits but without any audio.
There were also text messages, some of which were to arrange dates at local casinos during weekday daytime hours.
Woodley also exchanged texts related to his campaign for the Trustee position on his city phone.
Most of the photos provided to Our Town Reno were in a non redacted folder and consisted of photos documenting his work as director of code enforcement.
Several of the text messages appear to indicate city staff put pressure on Woodley to execute or dismiss certain actions to favor developers.
Our Town Reno has asked for additional text messages written between Woodley and a lawyer for Jacobs Entertainment to see if there was a pattern to impose code violations on motels which were then bought out and destroyed.
