Scottsboro City Council Regular Session February 12, 2018 - Indecision Regarding City Retirement Incentive Plans

City Council President Tony Wallingsford delays City Employee Retirement Incentive Plans, or as it is called this week, "Service Reward for Employees." Agenda item 4 on this weeks agenda and item 5 on last weeks agenda. An attempt to have the Personnel Director make a presentation was blocked by Council President Wallingsford last week. 

The committee work product, Retirement Incentive Plans, was evident as the work product was in the hands of a committee member last week, however the documents could not be presented as the Council President blocked the presentation. 

A Committee consisting of Council Members Keith Smith, Patrick Stewart, Mayor Robin Shelton and Personnel Director Erin Dixon was appointed by Mr. Wallingsford several weeks previous. Why has Mr. Wallingsford blocked the findings and presentation of the committee?
