Tucumcari City Manager Fired Sparks Open Meetings Debate
The Tucumcari City Commission vote to dismiss City Manager Doug Powers is under challenge by two commissioners and the city attorney. They cite possible Open Meetings Act violations due to improper public notice and agenda wording. The 3-2 decision, with two dissenters, followed a discussion item rather than a formal action. Assistant City Manager Charlie Sandoval also announced his resignation amid the vote.
