Great Falls council votes 4–1 to remove recreation director after executive session
Summary
After an executive session July 16, the Great Falls Town Council voted 4–1 to remove Recreation Director Glenn Gladden. A follow-up motion to run an ad to hire a replacement failed for lack of a second.
After returning from an executive session on July 16, the Great Falls Town Council voted 4–1 to remove Recreation Director Glenn Gladden.
Council Member McManus moved to remove Gladden and Council Member Dutton seconded; McManus, Eagle, Worthy and Dutton voted yes and Council Member Gonzalez voted no. Mayor Brantley stated the council took no action in executive session prior to the vote.
McManus later moved to run an advertisement to hire a new recreation director, but the motion received no second and did not proceed. The council did not adopt a replacement-hiring plan at the meeting.
Gladden had given a department report earlier in the meeting describing improvements to the Recreation Department board, upcoming sports registrations and fundraising activities, but the council took the personnel action after the closed session. The council did not provide additional public details about reasons for the removal during the open meeting. The next administrative step was not specified at the meeting.
