It would have required 5 votes to fire her, not 4. She must have thought there were 5 votes because she has worked most of her time in the position with a four commissioners not thinking she should continue.

That said, I have not been impressed with her job performance. She would have never gotten the job under normal circumstances. However, her resignation without a lot of fuss was probably one of the smartest things she did for her and the city.

She definitely is not a victim. I hear she will get $250,000 for severance and benefits due to poor negotiating of past administrations. I am glad that current State Law prevents such sweetheart packages. Severance now is limited to 20 weeks.

I also applaud the city commission for not airing their dirty laundry. Now if they show maturity and hire a qualified city manager based up qualifications and benefit to citizens and not to further one persons agenda.

The resignation is truly good for Deltona. Can you imagine the second largest city in Central Florida having a city manager who doubts she could get a job elsewhere. It is not because of her age. I know quite a few 56 year olds whose age would be an asset because of their knowledge and experience.
