The former city manager for Neptune Beach is taking legal action after being fired in January.

By the end of this week, Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach and Fernandina Beach will be searching for new city managers. These vacancies are all for different reasons.

Neptune Beach City Manager Stefen Wynn was fired during Tuesday night's city meeting.

NEPTUNE BEACH, Fla. – The city of Neptune Beach has closed City Hall and Public Works Buildings to the general public due to a COVID-19 virus outbreak among employees and altered operations to keep working. Mayor Elaine Brown said the city was forced to take action to protect the public and employees from the virus. According to City Manager Stefen Wynn, nearly every department of the City has been affected by positive cases of the virus, including top city officials. He emphasized that the services provided by the city are essential and although the city has closed its buildings to the public, those services will continue uninterrupted. Nine Neptune Beach officers were quarantined last summer after two tested positive for COVID-19.
