Update (July 21): The RMWB has posted for Glen Smith’s vacant position on its website. This was done after MyMcMurray inquired and got a response from the RMWB about the jobs last week.
More than a month after firing an executive director and one of the city’s longest-serving employees, the municipality says it has no plan to replace them.
Former Executive Director of Public Infrastructure Henry Hunter and former Director of Public Operations Glen Smith say their contracts were terminated on June 10th; though the city claims the two just resigned on the same day.
The move came just under a month after new Chief Administrative Officer Marcel Ulliac reinstated Dennis Warr, the city’s former Manager of Facilities Services, overruling Smith and Hunter.
He had been let go earlier in May, before then-CAO Glen Laubenstein resigned.
Right now, the municipality says Chief Financial Officer Elsie Hutton is assuming the role of Acting Director of Public Infrastructure and Planning, while managers of other departments are filling Smith’s role.
But it only says there will “eventually” be permanent replacements.
