EDGEWATER -- He was only on the job for 15 months, but City Manager Jon Williams was given a severance package of $140,311, when the City Commission voted to get rid of him Jan. 8
Councilwoman Debra Rogers was the lone vote against the termination because of the cost factor, which included paying Williams a one-year salary as well as accrued vacation, sick and personal time off.
Williams had been at odds with the city's unions and in the prior month received a vote of no confidence by the council members, who cited low employee morale.
Williams was replaced by Fire Chief Tracey Barlow.
