LaFayette has terminated a long-time employee who headed their parks & rec department for several years.  According to council member Chris Davis the release of parks and rec director Patti Scott was determined around 1 p.m. on Tuesday of this week (Nov. 10).

 

That same day, Davis learned of Scott’s dismissal from city manager David Hamilton.

 

Davis said Scott’s termination was not based on something she did wrong.

 

Hamilton said the decision to release Scott was not an easy one to make and was based on a need for change at the recreation department — not on a knee jerk reaction.

 

Hamilton said that a lot of consideration went into the decision, but he refused to discuss the matter further.
