other Councilors and from the Community for an outcry to make sure that our mayor
does not continue over reach in areas that he should not have authority in especially of
the daily operations here at City Hall; and due to having challenges with keeping a City
Manager and/or Interim City Managers thought was to put something in place to define
those rules. Also to include Interim City Manager rules and policies
Aaron Holloman, City Attorney, discussed possible punitive aspects referencing the
situation, functions of statutes, City Government policies and functions within the types
of different government.
