Resident raises questions about former city manager’s leave and pay during public comment
Summary
A resident asked for documentation and transparency about the former city manager’s leave status, alleged concurrent employment elsewhere, and related public pay; council did not resolve the matter at the meeting.
During the public‑comment period, Monica Robinson spoke on behalf of community members requesting clarity about the former city manager's employment and pay status since resigning in or around April 2025. Robinson said she was told the former city manager remained on leave on the city payroll for months and that this raised concerns about use of public funds and whether the city's personnel policies had been followed.
Robinson asked the council to provide documentation of any employment contract, leave accrued or taken, and the terms under which comp time or 'use/lose' leave might have been applied. She said an approximate six‑month period on leave without clear documentation could amount to roughly $80,000 in compensation, based on an estimated annual salary in the $160,000–$164,000 range; she acknowledged the salary estimate might be incorrect and asked for correction if needed.
Councilors did not provide specific corrective documentation during the meeting; the item remained a public‑comment request for additional records and clarification. No formal personnel action or vote was taken at that time.
