In an upcoming council meeting in Kansas City, Third District Councilwoman Melissa Robinson has publicly stated her belief that suspended City Manager Brian Platt’s time should come to an end. She is urging the council to name an interim city manager and terminate Platt’s contract. Robinson criticized the lack of a thorough employee evaluation before Platt’s contract was renewed last year and pointed out that Platt had never presented a citizen satisfaction survey to the council. Mayor Quinton Lucas suspended Platt two weeks prior, following a lawsuit that held the city liable and an accusation of misconduct by former Communications Director Chris Hernandez. Robinson referenced these issues as reasons for supporting Platt’s removal. Platt has faced other controversies, including allegations of racism and oppression from civil rights leaders in 2023. The council is set to vote on Platt’s fate, with uncertainty over the outcome. Stay tuned to FOX4 for updates on this developing story.
