Ex-Cottonwood Shores city treasurer appeals loss of job

COTTONWOOD SHORES — A former municipal employee fighting her termination by the city got to have her say out in the open during a meeting this week.

Former City Treasurer Chris Alvaranga, who was let go after Aug. 23, asked that her appeal be heard during an open session of the City Council Oct. 4.

The request is unusual because many termination appeals in city government are usually heard in executive session since they apply to personnel issues.
