The release of information regarding employment or non-employment, promotion, demotion, suspension, or other disciplinary action, reinstatement,transfer,or termination of a city employee does NOT require any kind of vote by the council. If that were true, then when did the city council vote to release the promotion of the newest Assistant Chief?

Don't give up Ben, stay on them.
I read this about four times. I understand now and I hate to admit that Ben is spot on. I am confused about how stupid Denise really is? Is this politics or is she short bus material?
If our Interim City Manager was a trained Psychiatrist or Psychologist I am sure she would be better able to deal with Mr. Holder.
On his side of the "looking-glass" things are obviously much different than they are in the real world side.
I respect Mr. Holders right to express his sad and dark view of his world but the only real trouble in Greensboro is the trouble he makes.
The patience and courtesy he has been consistently shown by the City Council and the Manager's office is commendable. Were he dumb enough to take on private individuals or organizations he'd find it a whole new experience - and probably a very costly one.
Raise, check or fold Mr. Holder you're holding up the game - wasting tax payer money one your windmill tilting!
Here's a public information request for you: How much tax payer money has been wasted responding to Mr. Holders childish war on the City and its leadership?
Still doesn't make her assesment of public records law correct. The decision they made is clearly wrong and I think that is the larger issue.
"The patience and courtesy he has been consistently shown by the City Council and the Manager's office is commendable."
I don't see how sighting pretend laws is a good thing for our city manager to do.
HOW CAN YOU PISS AWAY MONEY BY ASKING QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR CITY GOVERMENT AND THEY ANSWER YOU WITH A SHOVEL FULL OF BULL SHIT.ITS THE TAX PAYERS MONEY THE CITY IS PISSING AWAY AND YOU THEY ARE PISSING ON BY NOT ANSWERING HONEST QUESTIONS.
THE POST BAD MOUTHING MR.HOLDER MUST BE FROM THE LAW FIRM OF DUMUS AND DUMB ASS,ATTORNEYS OF ILL WILL AND BROWN NOSEING.
The law that our city is sending Mr. Holder does not exist. I can comprehend the paragraph in question and he is correct in idetifying it as wrong.
The first part:
"In actuality, the city council can only vote to release personnel information to the public in one very narrow circumstance. The city council, in concurrence with the city manager,may vote to inform the public of:..."
The : in the paragraph is called a colon. Colon's are before a list or an explanation that is preceded by a clause that can stand by itself.
Think of the colon as a gate, inviting one to go on:
There is only one thing left to do now: confess while you still have time.
The police review board includes the following people:
the mayor
the chief of police
the fire chief
The colon in the paragraph means that the legal department thinks that the following things can only be released by a council vote and concurrence by the city manager.
The employment or non-employment, promotion, demotion, suspension, or other disciplinary action, reinstatement,transfer,or termination of a city employee and the reasons for that personnel action.
That is not true and I appreciate Holder taking this item to task.
