OKAY TO HAVE AN OPINION ABOUT SOMEBODY'S JOB PERFORMANCE, NOT OKAY TO USE AN ELECTED POWER TO FIRE SOMEBODY BECAUSE I WANT HER PAID JOB.

HOLDING POLITICIANS ACCOUNTABLE
Part #2 COUNCILWOMAN TAJANA SURLAN MESIC GOING AFTER ECONOMIC DIRECTOR PAID JOB 11/5/2016

Let’s look today on former mayor Kuykendall post dated 10/30/16:

“The havoc and chaos started in 2015 when then Council Members Jeff Roberts, Erin Tristan, Tajana Mesic and Ramona Ridge undertook a vigorous process to fire our economic development director. These are the individuals responsible for any loss in our economic development activity that may have occurred. It all became clear when then Council Member Tajana Mesic applied for the economic development director's job following the director's forced retirement from the City. They conspired for political motivation and subsequently derailed Fulshear's economic development plan for their gain.”

The timeline of the attached documentation will tell the story about Ms. Mesic and the Economic Director job:

7+8/2015: Legal charges related to termination of Economic Development Director Cheryl Stalinsky. See the names of councilmembers involved. I will leave it up to Mrs. Stalinsky if she wants to explain why she filed EEOC claim. During this time, Mrs. Mesic's friends were elected and got majority on council, Mrs. Mesic began actively promoting economic development on her Facebook page.

8/2015 Social media crusade against Mrs. Stalinsky. Not posting here that bloodbath even when I have those screen shots. Mostly involved CCR Mesic’s and Tristan’s friends, some of them (not all of them) now appointed by Mayor Roberts to Fulshear boards, committees and commissions.

From 5/2015 to 8/2015, Mesic heavily “campaigning” on her Facebook how involved she is in Fulshear Economic development.

8/28/15 City of Fulshear posting Economic Development Director job opening, Mesic sharing with social media Mrs. Stalinsky is retiring 9/30/15.

10/1/15, first legal charge related the councilmember employment. Note this is COUNCIL MEMBER Employment. That means that a council member wanted to be employed at city in addition to their elected position.

10/10/15 Mesic filing job application for Economic development director job. Remember this date 10/10/15. As shown below, Ms. Mesic was "not entirely truthful' later on in her FB posts.

11/03/15 Mayor Kuykendal e-mailing Mesic it would be a conflict of interest. She cannot report to City Administrator as Economic Development Director and to be his boss as Councilmember at the same time. Note at the text: “In the summer of 2015 as a City Council Member serving with a measure of authority over employees, you were vociferous in the removal of Cheryl Stalinsky, Fulshear's Economic Development Director, from her position at the City. Finally in October 2015, you submitted your application to fill the position which you were trained for by the City and for which you had a significant role in creating the vacancy with your position of authority as a Council Member.”

11/13/15 Mrs. Mesic withdrawing her application for positon of Economic Development Director.
3/23/16 I filed an open record asking which council member applied for the job.

3/30/16 I sent the follow up if my ORR received. Same day Mrs. Mesic posting on her political FB “after a FEW MONTHS of observing the city’s struggle with receiving viable applications. I considered it [EDD job] briefly, but I withheld my application to honor my two-year term on City council”. What a coincident to share this information with constituents the same day when she figured out what I am just about to expose this information to the public.
