Milpitas has seen more than its share of city managers come and go in recent years under controversial or cloudy circumstances.
McHarris previously worked for three years as Milpitas' planning and neighborhood services director until 2015, when he filed a complaint alleging Tom Williams, the former city manager, created "an environment of fear, anxiety and suppression of staff opinion" at City Hall. McHarris then departed for a role in San Jose.
Julie Edmonds-Mares was hired in early 2018 to replace Williams, but abruptly resigned without explanation in June 2019. Despite officials claiming her departure was a mutual decision, the city paid her a severance package of nearly $200,000, suggesting she may have been forced out. At the Milpitas City Council meeting on Feb. 21, some residents lambasted the council majority over the decision to let McHarris go, pushing for an explanation. "Where is the transparency Mayor Montano? You promised us this in your inauguration. Evelyn Chua, you promised the same thing," longtime resident Joseph Weinstein said. "This is uncalled for and we deserve answers."
"We expect the mayor and the city council to explain what is going on and to reinstate the city manager," she said.
