DRIPPING SPRINGS — A local farmers market manager was fired last week after failing to perform duties in a professional manner.
The employment of Dripping Springs Farmers Market Manager Laurel Robertson was terminated on March 16 for insubordination, discourteous behavior and ineffective communication with staff and the public. Performance issues continued to occur despite Robertson being asked to improve her communication style.
City council unanimously voted on March 16 to approve the termination. Robertson did not provide comment when asked twice during the meeting.
Dripping Springs is currently accepting applications to fill the position.
