One, Mimi Hanley pushed back and Vice Mayor Kennedy was in support of the termination. One said she was “kind of shocked” and noted that Lamb had not received a formal performance review. Before the vote, council was told the proposed action would constitute a termination without cause. Councilwoman Bassett didn't participate in the discussion but when a roll-call vote was called she responded with "I guess aye."The motion failed 4-3.Voting YES to terminate Lamb:- David Neuman- Rachael Bassett- Julie KennedyVoting NO:- Paul Alfrey- Marcus Smith- Mark LaRusso- Mimi HanleyJenni Lamb remains Melbourne’s city manager.Watch the exchange and decide for yourself: Should an attempt to remove the city’s top administrator happen during closing comments, or should it be placed on a future agenda with public notice and a formal evaluation?#MelbourneFL #BrevardCounty #LocalGovernment ...
