LANCASTER – Mayor R. Rex Parris on Tuesday scheduled a closed-session discussion for the council’s next meeting to explore efforts to recoup a portion of the money granted as severance to former City Manager Bob LaSala. Parris, an attorney, said he is convinced a severance agreement that included a six-month termination notice plus an 18-month severance period for LaSala exceeded a limit set by the Legislature. “The law in this state is pretty clear that a city manager can have an 18-month separation agreement, and anything above that and beyond that is a violation of the law,” Parris said. “That’s how I read it.” For the full story visit www.avpress.com/n/15/0815_s3.hts
