hush money ?

All of these potential problems with the background checks, etc. should have been found and resolved one way or another LONG BEFORE he was hired! If there were problems in the confirmations, etc. the Council should have been notified! WHY werent they notified? Did we have to pay the most recently resigned Rec director hush money to keep him quiet too? If so, how much? He was here for SIX WEEKS. ANY severance pay is too much! and should come out of the City Manager's pocket! Did he sign a paper agreeing to NOT sue us? This whole fiasco is the responsibility of the City Manager. Period. Any other place it would be grounds for dismissal!
