🚨 SURPRISE ATTEMPT TO FIRE MELBOURNE CITY MANAGER FAILS BY ONE VOTEIn the final minutes of the Nov. 10 Melbourne City Council meeting at 1am in the morning, Councilman David Neuman unexpectedly moved to terminate City Manager Jenni Lamb’s contract “effective immediately.”The motion came during the council’s closing petitions, remonstrances and communications section, rather than as a separately listed agenda item.Neuman said he had lost confidence in Lamb, alleging that policy requests had been delayed, ignored or worked against.Only 2 other council members spoke on the issue. 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 ...
