In a recent decision, officials in the City of Clifton have chosen to end the employment of City Manager Doug Kibbey. This action followed a series of disagreements among board members, which ultimately led to the vote. According to the terms outlined in the contract, either party had the right to initiate termination.
During the meeting, a motion was proposed to terminate Kibbey’s employment, which subsequently received approval with a narrow margin of 3 to 2. Following this decision, the board indicated their plans to begin the search for a new city manager, signaling a new chapter for the city’s administration.
