During a closed executive session, the city council voted six to zero on the decision to fire Clay Pearson, effective immediately.
Council members, along with city staff, will begin searching for a new city manager, but in the meantime, the city's current deputy city manger Trent Epperson will act as interim manager.
This comes after the city of Pearland is also looking to hire an independent auditor after an unprecedented miscalculation of their annual budget. Kevin Cole, the mayor of Pearland, said the $1.3 billion miscalculation means a $10 million shortfall in the city budget that has already been approved. Cole said they have been working for two weeks to determine how this happened since city staff found the miscalculation.
