Reed Resigns

In a vote of 7-0 (at 12:36 AM)the city council voted to accept the resignation of Chris Reed effective June 30, 2009. He will get everything that his contract states in the event of his resignation. According to the Houston Chronicle Everything League City blog “As part of his resignation, Reed said he will (be)paid a year's salary and for his sick and vacation time, which he said equates to approximately $211,000.”

Texas First will “send two or three names” to the city for an “interim” city administrator. Then the city staff will go out for RFQs for a search firm to decided on a permanent city administrator. Mr. Baron wanted to hire Ron Cox’s firm and asked if this could be done now, however it was pointed out to him that the agenda item did not allow such action.
