Rodriguez remains city manager for now
Published July 14, 2010
Rumors have run rampant regarding what many believe is the imminent dismissal of Frances Rodriguez as city manager.
But following a two-hour-long closed-door session, part of an eight-hour-long meeting of the Del Rio City Council Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, the council took no action regarding Rodriguez’s employment with the city.
Rodriguez herself, moments before the meeting was adjourned, presented the council with her objections to the closed session. Those objections are specified on a single sheet of paper signed by Rodriguez and dated July 13.
A number of persons attending Tuesday night’s council meeting said they had “heard” the council was planning to take action to dismiss Rodriguez, but as the evening hours wore on, and Tuesday became Wednesday, most of those persons trickled out of council chambers.
Mayor Roberto “Bobby” Fernandez announced that the council would enter executive session to discuss, among other things, “possible litigation relating to personnel matters in the city manager’s and/or mayor’s office.”
The council went into executive session about 12:20 a.m. Wednesday and returned to open session at 2:13 a.m. today.
After Fernandez announced that no action had been taken by the council during the executive session and called for adjournment, Rodriguez announced that she wanted to present her objections to the closed session as part of the official record.
Rodriguez then handed the single page delineating those objections to City Secretary Susan Corp.
Neither the mayor nor any members of the council offered comment on the objections.
