Airway Heights council suspends city manager with pay pending investigation, approves interim plan
Summary
The council approved a motion to suspend the city manager with pay pending the independent investigation and directed department heads to identify four employees as interim candidates; the suspension measure passed 4–2 and the interim-candidate request passed unanimously (counts for the latter not specified).
The chair presented a motion "to suspend city manager with pay pending the investigation with suspension to be effective, upon naming an intern city manager." A committee member sought clarification during discussion, stating, "The city manager doesn't get suspended," prompting the chair to confirm the motion was on the floor and a vote was taken.
The council approved the suspension. The transcript records the chair saying, "The matter passes 4 to 2." After that, the council requested department heads identify four employees to act as interim city manager by the start of business the next day; the chair said reports would be made to the city attorney, who will report back to the council. That request was approved unanimously, according to the chair (exact tally not specified).
The transcript does not specify the city manager's name, the identity of any interim candidates, or the length of the suspension beyond it being "pending the investigation."
