Good afternoon,
While I understand the need to declare a state of emergency for the City, I can NOT support
giving full and sole discretion to the city manager if a state of emergency is implemented.
The City Council are elected by the constituents of the City--the city manager is NOT, and
should be governed by the full City Council. Giving one person autocratic control, especially
one that has not been elected by the people, is not justified!
I fully support the state of emergency, IF the dictates come from the full, elected City Council.
