Region of Queens councillors have fired Chief Administrative Officer Cody Joudry, saying that he wasn’t the right fit with the new council.
Mayor Scott Christian told QCCR on Monday that no specific incident led to his dismissal.
Councillors called a special meeting late Friday afternoon for Monday morning. Christian said they decided unanimously in the closed-door session to dismiss Joudry.
Joudry was hired as the region’s top staffer in September 2023, after the previous CAO resigned that May. Recently hired municipal clerk Pam Lovelace will take over as acting CAO until council finds an interim replacement for Joudry, while they conduct a longer search for a permanent CAO.
Christian said he expects council to appoint an interim CAO sometime in January.
