Purcellville council places town manager on administrative leave, names acting manager
Summary
At a special Purcellville Town Council meeting, council members voted to place Town Manager Quazy Frazier on administrative leave with pay and appointed assistant town manager Diana Hayes as acting town manager, voting the motion through in a roll call.
A council member moved and the council voted to place Town Manager Quazy Frazier on administrative leave with pay and to appoint Diana Hayes as acting town manager, both actions effective immediately.
"I move to place Quazy Frazier on administrative leave with pay effective immediately and appoint Diana Hayes acting town manager effective immediately," a council member said, and another member seconded the motion.
The council conducted a roll-call-style confirmation of the motion. Council member Raynor voted yes; Council member Luke voted yes; Council member Khalil voted yes; Council member Stahl voted yes; and the mayor voted yes. The vice mayor was noted as unable to cast a vote. The motion carried on the recorded ayes.
The personnel action followed a closed session in which the council said it received legal advice from the town attorney about an indictment-related matter involving the town manager. Council members debated whether discussion or action on an interim-manager process was appropriate at a special meeting before the vote.
Diana Hayes was identified on the meeting roster as assistant town manager; the council's motion appoints her as acting town manager effective immediately. The council did not provide a public timeline for how long the administrative leave will last or whether the leave is paid from a particular budget line; those details were not specified in the meeting record.
The council then moved to adjourn the special meeting.
