Mattis removed, search for new city manager begins

City Council members have unanimously voted to release Tom Mattis as the city manager in response to an undisclosed internal matter, city officials said.

The decision followed a special meeting Nov. 26, primarily spent in executive session, to deliberate the employment, evaluation, reassignment, duties, discipline or dismissal of the now-former city manager.

Mattis, who was hired for the job in 2016, remained unavailable for comment at press time.
