DC-2 21-1403 Motion to Reconsider the July 20, 2021 Vote that Approved the Resolution to Direct Actions to Conclude Mr. Crawford's Employment as the City Administrator
Council Member Lisa Disch (other members of Council as well),
I have read your final communication in regard to the involuntary separation of Ann Arbor’s City Manager, Tom Crawford as well as the independent report written by Ms. Salavtore. I find your conclusions and method of analysis troubling and simply beneath the standards that I would expect for a seasoned Political Science Professor at a distinguished university. The case for any insensitive or derogatory comments directed at any protected groups was ultimately subjective, speculative and disputed by Mr. Crawford. More troubling, the criteria used as the basis for the dismissal appears worthy of a Franz Kafka inspired novel.
