LAKE HAVASU CITY – Lake Havasu City Manager Jess Knudson is being directed to engage in some self-improvement activity following marathon deliberations by the city council. Knudson told a local newspaper weeks ago that he was embarrassed by what he called his own misbehavior featured in a You Tube video showing him in drinking environments with a young woman who briefly worked for the city.
The council met in executive session last month and for more than six hours twice this week before Mayor Cal Sheehy made an announcement at about 9:30 p.m. Thursday.
“The council has met in several executive sessions to discuss the evaluation of the city manager. We did an in-depth analysis of his performance,” Sheehy said. “The council determined that a six-month professional development plan is the correct course of action at this time.”
Sheehy said the council will again review Knudson’s performance next spring.
