Jaime Fontes was voted out as the City Manager of Greenfield
in a Special Council meeting on Friday night, June 15. Dozens of people in Greenfield
showed their support for Fontes during a public comment period of the special
session which lasted over an hour. The Council said that they fired Fontes
without cause pursuant to paragraph three of the employment agreement. Fontes’
Attorney John Klopfenstein said that they plan on filing a lawsuit against the
city which could be in excess of $1 million and stated that Fontes was let go because of how the Council recently requested that he fire a Department Head and Fontes said no. Klopfenstein indicated that what the Council asked Fontes to do was illegal. After the public comment period the Council went into closed
session for over 45 minutes and came out with their decision to terminate
Fontes as City Manager without cause by a vote of 3 to 2. The Council approved
during the closed session unanimously to appoint Paul Wood as interim City
Manager.
