Wellington Village Manager Paul Schofield’s job possibly in...

Sunshine law shenanigans in Wellington? No better a red flag than to have an elected official tell you that they have lined up three votes to terminate your employment. You just can't do that sort of thing outside a public meeting. Things have gotten more rough and tumble out in Wellington recently. Click title for link.

A council member reportedly advised Schofield [Village Manager Paul Schofield] on Sept. 10 to resign before Tuesday’s meeting because the council member said he had secured the three votes needed to fire Schofield, the source told The Post on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisal from the council.
Schofield was on vacation this week and couldn’t be reached for comment.
Such a coordinated arrangement by members of the Wellington Village Council would be a violation of Florida’s Sunshine Law, which requires all council decisions to be voted on at advertised, public meetings.
Mayor Bob Margolis said he hadn’t heard the rumor before talking to The Post on Friday. He said he was concerned by it and the potential implications of a Sunshine violation.
“I have no knowledge of that,” he said. “My goal is to review Paul’s performance.”
