City Council asks manager to address issues
GREENSBORO -- The City Council voted 7-2 today to direct the City Manager Mitchell Johnson to address several issues. Mary Rakestraw and Trudy Wade were the two council members to vote against the request.
The council asked Johnson to address:
* Issues in the fire department, parks and recreation department and the communications department;
* Reorganize the manager's office;
* Have clear, consistent communication with the council;
* Work on his delegation skills.
Mike Barber made the motion; T. Dianne Bellamy-Small gave the second.
Before that, however, Robbie Perkins moved that Johnson be retained; Goldie Wells was the second. Then Rakestraw moved that the manager be removed; Wade provided the second.
Barber's motion, however, was the last one given, and the one the council had to vote on.
The vote came after council spent several hours in closed session. After the vote, the council returned to closed session to discuss personnel issues and some legal cases.
