The Council Chairman found the Auditors letter in the audit document that claimed material weaknesses in the internal controls by the auditors. I assume that the chairman confronted the City Manager of that fact and that is when emotions set in. They both were running without the facts.
Based on my experience in top management I assumed that the City Manager confronted the Finance Director to either RESIGN or I will FIRE you. And that is what the Finance Director did.
Rather than wait until the Auditors made their presentation to the City Council, all hell broke loose. Another Councilor recommended a forensic audit be conducted.
When the Auditors did make the presentation to Council, the AUDIT was CLEAN.
Having known the City Finance Director since 2012 when I was on City Council, I found him the be the most qualified to perform those duties.
The Finance Director in the past not only performed his duties as the Finance Director, he served as Interim City Manager three times when City Council was in the process of hiring a new City Manager.
The City Manager and the City Council are the ones that I question, are they qualified to do their jobs!!!
I never heard anyone APOLOGIZE to the Finance Director for the INJUSTICE they PERPETRATED.
