Rumors of possible “negative things” facing Bowie City Manager Bert Cunningham during his annual evaluation Monday night, led several city employees to express their support for him during the public comments section of the council meeting.

There was a full house at the meeting where the audience included several candidates for city council, numerous city employees and citizens. The group was silent when Police Chief Guy Green came to the podium for citizen comments and raised the question of rumors related to the city manager.

Monday’s agenda included the annual discussion of employment, evaluation and duties of the municipal judge, city secretary and city manager, the only three city employees hired by the city council. The remainder of city employees are under direction of the manager.
