In a special called meeting by the Lewisburg City Council on Friday, August 22nd, which was attended by a large group of concerned Lewisburg citizens, city leaders passed a motion to hire an outside law firm to investigate the allegations against Haislip discovered by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation on Wednesday on multiple charges connected to stalking a city employee and even breaking into their home.
Roy “Bam” Haislip will remain city manager until an external firm is hired to investigate the charges.
Once the law firm is hired, they will have 30 days to investigate. During that investigation, Haislip will be suspended without pay for that time period.
An interim manager will also be appointed to take on Haislip’s responsibilities for the duration of the investigation.
Citizens on both sides of this sensitive matter were allowed to speak as well as City Manager Haislip himself.
Another special meeting will be held to hire the law firm and to appoint an interim manager. No date for that meeting has been set at this time.
