BRENHAM CITY COUNCIL TO DISCUSS APPOINTING INTERIM CITY MANAGER THURSDAY

  

The Brenham City Council will meet on Thursday to consider naming an interim city manager.

The council will meet in executive session to discuss the appointment of a temporary city manager.  It will then move into regular session to take action on the item.

On Thursday, the council voted 5-2 to terminate the city manager contract of James Fisher effective immediately, following three hours in executive session.  Mayor Milton Tate and Councilmember Albert Wright voted against the termination.

Fisher’s contract was slated to expire on January 10, 2022, after the council in October 2020 voted to extend it for one year.  Fisher served in the position starting in January 2018, after previously serving as city manager in Forney, east of Dallas.

The council will meet Thursday afternoon at 1 p.m. at Brenham City Hall.
