Council approves immediate termination of Deputy City Clerk Sarah Moore
Summary
In closed session on Feb. 19 the Houston City Council voted to terminate Sarah Moore from the Deputy City Clerk position effective immediately; the motion was made by Alderman Sam Kelley and seconded by Alderwoman Angie Gettys and is recorded as carrying with five yes votes in the minutes.
The Houston City Council approved an immediate termination of the position held by Sarah Moore, recorded in the meeting minutes as Deputy City Clerk, during a closed session on Feb. 19.
Alderman Sam Kelley moved the motion and Alderwoman Angie Gettys seconded. The minutes state the motion "carried with five yes votes." The minutes list the council membership and city staff present; they do not include statements from the parties involved, reasons for the termination, or severance or other personnel details.
The minutes include an attestation line indicating the minutes were taken by the mayor and attested by City Clerk Barbara Rodgers; the transcript copy contains typographical errors in the attestation line ("Barbara Rodyes" and "Baubara Redges") that appear to be transcription errors. This article uses the spelling "Barbara Rodgers" consistent with the clerk name stated earlier in the minutes.
Because the action occurred in closed session and the minutes provide only the motion text and the recorded outcome, further details about the grounds for termination, personnel findings, or appeal rights are not included in the minutes.
