Administrator, council conflicts boil to surface at meeting
Glen Rose Reporter
Conflicts between Glen Rose City Council members and City Administrator Michael Leamons came to a head at Tuesday s regular meeting, which lasted more than six hours.
Discussion that normally would have taken place in closed chambers, due to it being a personnel matter, took place in open session at Leamons request.
The lengthy discussion culminated with the decision to have the mayor work on a performance improvement plan for Leamons, meet with him monthly to gauge progress and have the full council do a written employee evaluation in September, when the administrator s employment anniversary date approaches.

GLEN ROSE When Glen Rose Convention and Visitors Bureau Director Kristen Gibson submitted her resignation in mid-March, the city of Glen Rose immediately began looking for her replacement.
Glen Rose City Administrator Michael Leamons said the city received 11 applicants, and the number has been whittled down to three, and interviews will be held soon.
“We need to have someone in place to handle our marketing needs,” Leamons said. “Social media marketing needs continuous attention. We have some generic advertising for radio and some other avenues, which is helpful, but fresh, targeted marketing is better. That can t be done unless there is someone in place daily interacting with the tourist marketplace.”
