New Councilmember & Search For City Manager BeginsThis was the first meeting for new city councilmember Hudson, who was sworn in at the start. City staff are already short handed, he was told, and experienced professionals will be able to get through the process more swiftly. They hope to onboard a new city manager by the end of the year. He said this same majority voted to fire the city manager without cause, and asked whether good city manager candidates will want to work for a city that fires their managers without cause. As the city manager said, staff cannot take this on at a time when they are already short handed.
