OK, let's start now with her actual letter of resignation:
"Carol Gonzales
Shawnee City Manager
March, 19, 2010
I hereby submit my letter of resignation from the Shawnee City Council, to be effective on Tuesday, April 13, 2010. This resignation also applies to the Shawnee Convention and Visitors Bureau and the Johnson County Solid Waste Management Committee
It has been an honor and privilege to represent Shawnee in these capacities.
Cordially,
s/ Cheryl Scott
Cheryl Scott "
So, now what happened at the council meeting on Monday 3/22/10? Councilmember Straub inquired if there was any additional info on a resignation. Mayor Meyers indicated he had no new info. City Manager Gonzales said nothing. Councilmember Scott said nothing.
Huh? According to the changed on line posting of the Shawnee Cheerleader (aka Shawnee Dispatch): "Scott submitted the letter Friday, though the city manager did not have a chance to review it until Monday."
Are they saying that between Friday and Monday, before the council meeting, neither Scott nor Gonzales said anything to the Mayor? If Gonzales knew she had the letter why didn't she answer Straub. Why didn't Scott, having submitted her letter of resignation, say something and answer Straub?
Now, reading Scott's letter what "review" (according to the Dispatch) did the city manager have to do? That letter of resignation seemed to be pretty simple and straightforward. Apparently there is something about simple and straightforward letters that the city manager has trouble understanding.
