Flower Mound town manager may be fired Monday PDF Print E-mail
Friday, 05 October 2012 16:00

The Flower Mound Town Council will meet Monday afternoon at a specially called meeting to possibly terminate the employment contract of Town Manager Harlan Jefferson.

The meeting will be held at town hall council chambers at 5 p.m.  After the closed portion of the meeting, board members will hold an open meeting and take action if necessary.

The two items on the Agenda for the meeting are: "Discuss and consider employment status of Town Manager, and all matters incident and related thereto," and "Discuss and consider job duties and responsibilities of Interim Town Manager and all matters incident and related thereto."

Jefferson was placed on paid administrative leave by town council on Sept. 22.  Chuck Springer, Assistant Town Manager/Chief Financial Officer, was named to assume Jefferson's duties in the interim.

Jefferson was named town manager in April 2006 and served as Flower Mound's Deputy Town Manager and CFO prior to that. There are three years left on Jefferson's current employment contract.

To the Malcolms: I thought you were friends of Mayor Hayden and now you're insulting his educational speech given before his supporters?

If I have no substance, then why are you bothering to stoop to such insults?

Attacking from behind a mask when I haven't one reminds me of a famous lion.

@Ms Berry,
You sound a lot like David Axelrod, talking points but really no substance…. You got your education on mixed use in one night… come on, I am just going to shake my head on that one. You should really reconsider the "many people" you get your information from.
If the last town election were held today, the people you are trying to talk for might get even fewer votes.

Mrs. Berry, by your own concession you are no expert engineer. Your education in mixed use limited to a dinner time conversation. Your ability to malign the truth, superb.

To Malcolm X: I don't believe that all those who voted for this administration were putting their rubber stamp on more apts, nor do I think there would be nearly as many votes for them if the election were held today. Personally, I look back to the administration that approved the apts at Riverwalk as the issue. Actually, Malcolm X, I hope and pray that I am proved wrong because I know that it is likely to happen and I don't want it to turn out like Riverwalk and the Villages of Colleyville. Right, now, I think I'll borrow a line from Bob Weir and ask how it is that you hide behind your aliases while you criticize and attack?

To Malcolm Jr., That's funny -- I got all my education on Mixed Use one night at the Bridlewood Country Club at a fund raising dinner for Hayden, Wise and Whitaker. Tom gave a speech on it. Later, my observations and research has shown that he had summed it up pretty well. I believe he, also, indicated the issues surrounding our infrastructure, too, and I have heard that for many years -- from many people but I'm certainly no expert engineer.

Elaine, you make a very good point.

"If history is a predictor, then we'll just end up with a slew of "Condos"--no beautiful hotel/shop/dining area and a bunch of egg faces."

Flower Mound's history is that of "egg faces". What has been the constant, Harlan Jefferson. Maybe Council is listening to you, and they are reviewing what needs to change so that when you talk to your friends you know longer have Egg on your face.

Elaine, you said ...

I'd much prefer to keep Harlan & nix the rush on approving Lakeside DFW (Mixed Use=Apts) Dev.

Lakeside was a hotly discussed topic in the last election, with the previous regime stalling, embarrassing, and thinking of every excuse possible to kill the proposed Lakeside Development. A large majority of resident did not favor your line of thinking. Sorry.

Mrs. Barry you said our "our sewer facility's capacity is stressed". I'm not as knowledge about such details as you are, could you please share what you know about the Town's Sewer Facilities?

I have heard your quote on Mixed Use before. It was the half-truth, scare quotes from recently removed town council people...

Name the study or report that backs up your quote about the sewer facility

Quoting Elaine Barry:
Mixed Use=Apts.
High density housing

our sewer facility's capacity is stressed

(continuation)
If we terminate Harlan, then our legal+ severance costs will be higher.

I'd much prefer to keep Harlan & nix the rush on approving Lakeside DFW (Mixed Use=Apts) Dev.

If history is a predictor, then we'll just end up with a slew of "Condos"--no beautiful hotel/shop/dining area and a bunch of egg faces.
