Mayor Garrett called the meeting to order in the Council Chambers of City
Hall. City Secretary Chapa called the roll and verified that the necessary quorum
of the Council and the required Charter officers were present to conduct the
meeting.
Mayor Garrett stated that the City Council was going into executive session
pursuant to Texas Government Code, Section 551.074, Personnel Matters, to
deliberate the appointment, employment, reassignment, duties, discipline, or
dismissal of the City Manager with possible action related thereto in open session.
The Council went into executive session. The Council returned from
executive session. Council Member Kelly made the following motion, seconded by
Council Member Elizondo:
Motion authorizing the Mayor to accept the letter from George K. Noe, City
Manager, dated May 30, 2008, announcing his resignation and retirement
effective September 1, 2008, and upon termination of his employment,
provide him the severance pay described in the "Employment Conditions
and Salary for City Manager George K. Noe" dated April 15, 2003.
Council Member McCutchon asked for Council's support that the 90 days
not be guaranteed if a replacement is found within that period and that Mr. Noe
agree to step down should that occur. Mr. Kelly stated that it is highly unlikely
that will occur and that he would prefer a transition period with overlap between
the current City Manager and the new City Manager.
