City manager troubles in Covina?

This just in from reporter Amanda Baumfeld:

There may be trouble looming for Covina City Manager Paul Philips. The City Council has called a special meeting for Monday to discuss personnel issues surrounding Philips.

The closed session agenda states, “Public Employee Performance Evaluation/Discipline/Dismissal/Release – Title: City Manager.”

The funny part is before receiving this agenda in an e-mail from the deputy city clerk I received an agenda from her that read “Public Employee Performance Evaluation-Title: City Manager.”

So the words “discipline, dismissal and release” were added to the second e-mailed agenda which could lead some to believe that might be one of the council’s intended actions.

Special meeting starts at 7 p.m. at City Hall, 125 E. College Street.
