Council accepts city manager resignation and names assistant as interim
Summary
After an executive session the McAlester City Council accepted the city manager's resignation, approved severance and unanimously designated the assistant city manager to serve as interim until a replacement is appointed.
Following a closed executive session under Title 25, section 307(b), the McAlester City Council accepted the resignation of the city manager, approved appropriate severance, and designated the assistant city manager as interim.
The council recessed into executive session to discuss employment, hiring, promotion and resignation matters related to the city manager. On returning to open session, the city attorney recommended a motion "to accept the resignation of the city manager to pay appropriate severance." Council voted to approve that motion. The council then voted to designate the assistant city manager to serve as interim city manager until the position is filled.
Both actions were recorded by roll call. The designation is intended to ensure continuity of operations while the council and city staff manage next steps for a permanent replacement; specifics about severance amount or search timeline were not discussed in open session.
Next steps: the city will operate under interim leadership while the council addresses recruitment or appointment for the permanent city manager role.
