Palm Coast City Council member Victor Barbosa made a motion to fire City Manager Matt Morton Tuesday night, saying the manager had targeted him by placing his name on code enforcement complaints against residents when the complainant’s name is not typically included on the forms.
Barbosa s motion died for lack of a second.
“I ask my fellow council members to support me in a motion to terminate Mr. Morton for gross misconduct and misuse of government resources and undermining the council,” Barbosa said. “Mr. Morton raises questions of his integrity, honesty and his fitness to remain a city manager.”
