Under the heading “Fired? Demoted? League City's administrator waits” Thayer Evans,of The Houston Chronicle and the blog Everything League City, talks about Tuesday nights agenda. The following is a portion of what he wrote.
"The agenda for Tuesday's City Council meeting will include a closed-door item to "deliberate the employment, evaluation, reassignment, duties, discipline and or possible dismissal" of the city administrator, City Councilman Jim Nelson said. The item was submitted by Mayor Toni Randall, he said.
There is also a closed-door agenda item to "deliberate the appointment or employment of a public officer or employee" as interim city administrator, Nelson said. It was also put on the agenda by Randall, he said.
After the two closed-session items, there is also an action item on Tuesday night's agenda for the city to request proposals from executive search firms that could assist with the city's potential search for a new city administrator, Nelson said. It was also put on the agenda by Randall, he said."
What are your thoughts? Should Chris Reed be the assistant city administrator? Should he be reassigned? Do you think bringing in someone who has no knowledge of the city, with Mr. Reed being the assistant city administrator, will change the way business has been and continues to be conducted in city hall? Do you think the employee’s moral will go up or down (as if it could get any lower) and do you think more positions will become vacant? And when the people voted overwhelmingly for change (70% to 30%) do you think this is what they had in mind?
