He should be prohibited from voting if he doesn’t resign his seat. Given his public comments, this is an incredible expectation of someone so incompetent.

Tedder may be a deceptive ego maniac, but I have not heard any of the women complain about lecherous behavior. We are honest in our criticism….

A most gracious apology and graciously accepted you are back in my good graces…

Thanks Hope: Snidely issues a formal apology to both Mr. Tedder and Hope.
Honestly with all the dirt and corruption I never considered there could be one honest man working at the COT. If Hope days I’m wrong then I’m standing corrected.

I think you owe Mr Tedder an apology I don’t know if you had a snootful when you wrote this, but usually your comments are insightful and amusing…

Here is the situation… You have a competent decent person in the midst of corruption, Democratic Party nonsense, and incompetence and one man stands alone….Tedder.

You are attacking the hero. I don’t understand the troubling accusations you are insinuating here, but you are way way out of line. I am disappointed in you, Snidely.

Tedder sounds 100% like the type of person who has #metoo’ed women at the COT, or men if he’s gay, or women and men at COT if he’s bi.
Your employees at COT should be encouraged to report any and all #metooing committed against them by this monster Tedder.

Steve, Yes that is exactly right. Tedder bullies staff to get his way. The midtown garage was a huge bomb that he forced through. He rushes so much he doesn’t think things through – then he blames staff when it goes bad. OEV, Blueprint, Planning and CRA have all taken falls for his mistakes and they resent it.

His staff is getting more worried about his erratic behavior. For example: at the Monday workshop, after Manning agreed to look into the Boards suggestions, Tedder got rid of her so fast they didn’t even have someone to step in and be acting CRA director. What was the rush? The CRA Board didn’t even know what was happening. Now Tedder is acting CRA director and the Board’s suggestions are DOA. What happened to Rick, the assistant CRA director? Does anyone think this is sloppy – at best?

Hope is right. If Goad cant step up and handle Tedder, then they need to do a national search for a new City Manager. Things have gotten so much worse at City Hall that people are afraid to do or say anything.

The only way to rectify the situation and get back on track from this trainwreck is to do a nationwide search for a city manager and suspend the CRA board until a new city manager is up to speed regarding the situation.

All you need to know about Wayne Tedder is the way he bullied and belittled City planning staff into the Midtown parking garage debate. He specifically told planning staff at a meeting with midtown residents that they would be fired if they said one negative thing about the project. None of them wanted it and were forced to grit through because of Wayne’s threats. Forth is correct about what happened with Roxanne’s firing. Roxanne had the audacity to go off script, and she was immediately fired for it. What kind of message do you think that sends to the other planning staff who want to blow the whistle? Say the line or you are gone.

Wayne is a borderline sociopath who is only interested in one thing and that’s becoming City Manager, and the development community is riding this horse until they get there. Reese won’t do anything about it because he is so petrified of firing him (for good reason). Reese knows well that Wayne is undermining him, but really can’t do anything about it until the community creates an uproar about Wayne. Wayne is the acting city manager right now.
