City manager accountability

A Hollister POA member posed a series of questions about whether the council knew the city manager was making layoff decisions without consulting departments or unions, and about consultant and housing-allowance spending.

Asked the council to terminate the city manager and rescind layoffs, saying financial challenges don't excuse poor leadership or lack of transparency.

Thanked the council for Monday's decisions and formally called on it to terminate the city manager's employment and rebuild employee trust.

Thanked the council for standing up for the community and urged them to make the right decision on the city manager.

Called on each council member to find the courage to examine the record and terminate the city manager for cause if grounds exist.

Said the council was misled, urged them to use the evidence to fire the city manager for cause and correct course.
