Con Johnson was put on leave after a closed-session vote by the Antioch City Council Tuesday evening.
ANTIOCH – City Manager Cornelius “Con” Johnson has been placed on administrative leave, the Antioch City Council decided Tuesday evening.
“I have no idea what’s going on,” Johnson told the Bay Area News Group. “I wasn’t there in closed session, so this is a surprise to me.” Johnson later fired the city’s contracted public information officer, Rolando Bonilla, who claimed he was only doing what Johnson asked of him.When asked on Tuesday evening, Johnson said he “can’t speculate” about whether the council’s vote to place him on leave had anything to do with the false statement attributed to the police chief.He also questioned if the discipline action was properly put on the council’s agenda, as required under state law.
