I am very uncomfortable having the power to hire a permanent city administrator vested in this council. This council took 7 months to get rid of Rich Guillen when it should have taken 7 minutes. And even then, the council did not vote to fire Guillen for cause saving taxpayers money, but passively waited and waited for his letter of resignation. And the council has still not taken ownership and responsibility for mishandling the Guillen affair from the get go. This is one of those times when the business of government is too important to be in the hands of these 5 politicians on this city council.
