After closed session Rosenberg council authorizes settlement talks, terminates John Marsh contract and names Joyce Fasuit interim city manager
Summary
Following an executive session, the Rosenberg City Council authorized settlement negotiations in case No. 25-CCV-076286, voted to terminate the employment agreement of John Marsh for cause, and appointed Joyce Fasuit as interim city manager; all motions passed unanimously among those present.
After an executive session on March 18, the Rosenberg City Council returned to open session and approved three actions: authorization for the city attorney and city manager to negotiate and execute settlement documents in case No. 25-CCV-076286; termination for cause of the employment agreement of John Marsh; and appointment of Joyce Fasuit as acting interim city manager until further notice.
The council cited deliberations held under Texas Government Code provisions related to purchase/exchange/lease of real property and pending condemnation proceedings; the meeting record references Sections 551.072 and 551.071 as the basis for the closed deliberations.
A motion to authorize negotiation and execution of settlement documents for case No. 25-CCV-076286 was made and seconded; the motion passed with an affirmative vote. Later, the council moved to terminate the employment agreement of John Marsh for cause; that motion also carried unanimously. Council then voted to appoint Joyce Fasuit as acting interim city manager.
The meeting record did not provide public details of the settlement terms, the basis for termination beyond the language "for cause," or an effective date for the termination beyond the council action taken in open session. The council recorded the votes as unanimous among members present for each motion.
