”I look forward to discussing our city’s direction and future next week,” Mayor Johnson said.

On Tuesday announced that the City Council will plan to proceed with the city managers performance evaluation and any related vote next week. City Council members Paula Blackmon, Cara Mendelsohn, and Gay Willis canceled their special-called meeting Wednesday in anticipation of the discussion next week. That means, the mayor does not plan to go into executive session on the item that had been scheduled for Wednesdays briefing meeting.

"After listening to our colleagues, we have requested the city secretary cancel Wednesday’s special called meeting. We believe it is important for all colleagues to feel this process is fair and transparent and we are looking forward to a frank performance review discussion." 1/2

Several of the City Council members who had initially asked the mayor to place the executive session item on the June 15 agenda have since expressed their desire to revert to the process planned by the Ad Hoc Committee on Administrative Affairs, which had tentatively called for a potential June 23 special-called meeting.
