Public commenter accuses council members of targeting city manager; calls for accountability

In a heated public comment segment, a resident identifying herself as Jacqueline sharply criticized several council members and urged elected officials to stop using the city manager as a scapegoat. The commenter argued that the manager's role is to advise and implement law and that elected officials — not staff — bear responsibility for setting and changing policies.

"A city manager is someone that is meant to advise and implement law. He does not create or pass the law that is in fact your job," the commenter said, and accused named council members of harassment and failing to communicate. She warned that an "arbitrary termination motion" would be retaliatory and called for accountability among elected officials. Council did not take personnel action during the meeting; the comment was recorded in the public record for potential follow-up.
