Leesville City Council Votes to Terminate City Administrator

LEESVILLE-In a unanimous vote during its regularly scheduled meeting at 3 p.m. Monday, October 13, 2014, the Leesville City Council terminated City Administrator Courtney Christian.


In a following action, the council temporarily appointed Delain Prewitt for a 90-day term effective immediately. Advertisements seeking to fill the position will also begin immediately.

 

"Unfortunately, the council and I could not come to terms with Ms. Christian on the way forward for the City, which has necessitated this action," said Leesville Mayor Rick Allen. "We wish Ms. Christian all the best in the future."
