Former City Manager Tonya Chapman was fired last week during the City Council’s first meeting of the year by a new council supermajority that believed her termination was for sufficient cause.

The letter, which was obtained by 13News Now, broke down different allegations that Chapman deemed "false and/or blatantly misleading," which led to her termination.
