Carolyn Lehr, City Manager, Announces She Will Quit in June
 |
Carolyn Lehr in June 2015 being
sworn in as Emeryville City Manager. |
In a tersely written letter to her staff, Emeryville City Manager Carolyn Lehr announced this afternoon she will retire from her position at the end of this fiscal year. After only three years managing Emeryville City Hall, Ms Lehr will quit June 30th, with 33 years serving in local government she told her employees. She informed a "surprised" Mayor John Bauters a week ago she's now 65 years old and no longer wishes to work "full time".
She said working for Emeryville has been "dynamic and fulfilling" but she felt a need to reconsider her options in anticipation of negotiating the terms of her next employment contract with the City Council.
Quit or fired?
ReplyDeleteThey always say they're retiring when they go, regardless of the particulars. She used the word 'retiring' today but if there's more, the City Council isn't saying.
DeleteTersely written? Love the take ... you can always bend words to your point of view ...
ReplyDeleteNo need to bend words so none were bent. A person that runs a whole city that quits after three years leaving only 223 words to account would be the dictionary definition of ‘terse’. What “point of view” do you see me promulgating Mr Anonymous?
DeleteThey're really hitting you hard recently. They must be getting desperate. This guy doesn't like you using terse. WTF? Maybe its a Russian troll.
ReplyDeleteIn Emeryville and the rest of America the right wing is feeling aggrieved and they're more passionate and animated than the left. There's more of an emotional response rather than rational. It's been that way for decades across the USA but only for the last two years in Emeryville. It's fine here in Emeryville...they can yell all they want.
