Board takes personnel actions in executive session: manager resignation, temporary managers and employee discipline
Summary
Following executive session the board accepted the resignation/dismissal of Lake Manager Brandon Powell effective immediately with five weeks' severance and directed return of district property; set Eric Fugate's work schedule and accommodations; appointed Heather Purcell and Katrina Jones as temporary managers under Director Parsley's oversight; and approved a three-day suspension and written warning for maintenance employee Butch Johnson.
The board adjourned into executive session (1:34 p.m.) and returned at 3:47 p.m. After discussion the board approved several personnel actions. The board recorded a motion that Eric Fugate work 25 hours in the office and 15 hours from home; the lake will supply an accommodating chair and desk and Fugate will provide bi-weekly check-ins with Chief Jones, who will report to the board.
The board approved the dismissal or resignation of Lake Manager Brandon Powell effective immediately; as recorded in the minutes, Powell will receive five weeks' severance pay plus payout of accrued PTO and must return all district property (truck keys, lake phone, electronics, fuel card, credit card and passwords). The board appointed Heather Purcell and Katrina Jones as temporary managers, with Director Doug Parsley to oversee them. The board considered disciplinary motions for maintenance employee Butch Johnson: an initial motion to dismiss failed on recorded votes; a later motion that Johnson receive a three-day suspension and a formal written warning (with a condition that continued hostile behavior could result in immediate termination) passed.
