Demand a retraction
I believe Mr. Krauss and the City should ask the Pick Times Sun for a retraction of the story stating that Mr. Krauss was fired. The use of the word Fired has been misinterpreted by readers and the retractin should reflect the minutes of the City Council meeting which follow in the City Manager's Report to Council.

D. MANAGER. Mr. Wiseman stated his report had been distributed and he would answer any questions. Mr. Hackworth clarified that work has begun on the Kohl?’s project. Mr. Parker stated he would like to clarify that the City?’s Public Information Officer was dismissed last week. Mr. Wiseman stated it was correct that he was laid off. Mr. Parker stated it was his understanding this position was deleted and that was not something that could be done without Council action. Mr. Wiseman stated the position was not deleted, it was determined that we did not have the need to have a full time employee in that position. Mr. Mapes stated an executive session will be held this evening and questions regarding this issue should probably be addressed at that time.
