The City Commission, backing Fletcher’s ouster, faced public backlash over a $2,500 pay raise and the manager’s aloof management style. Critics note the raise came amid prior deficiencies and that the hearing had no legal force, with officials reframing blame and defending the political context.
The city commission lists ten specifications accusing former manager Verlyn Fletcher of misconduct. Spec 1 claims he contradicted a commission decision on a long term lease with the Nevada Crippled Children's Society. Spec 2 covers a failed promotion of Babette Montesano after Fletcher opposed hiring a woman. Spec 3 ties to a wage dispute with firemen and a 56 hour week. Spec 4 alleges withholding a state office building survey. Spec 6 accuses non attendance at Planning Commission meetings. Spec 7 cites a vote against a state gas tax increase. Spec 8 alleges improper handling of compensatory time for City Clerk Edwina Cole. Spec 9 concerns mishandling recreation funds. Spec 10 reports an order restricting Western attire for female workers seen as demoralizing.
