Brian Platt joined six other former city managers who have been ousted by KansasCity Council. In fact, city managers are nearly as likely to be fired — or pressured to resign — as they are to leave on their own terms.
Brian Platt, who was appointed as Kansas City Manager in 2020, was fired by the city council in a 10-1 vote, marking a significant event in the city's governance. Platt's tenure was marked by both praise and controversy; he was credited with managing the city effectively during the economic challenges posed by the global health crisis, implementing a new approach to trash collection, and securing a new stadium for the Kansas City Royals. However, his dismissal came amidst allegations of a hostile work environment, with claims of bullying and intimidation from city employees. Despite these issues, Platt's contract included a severance package, and his departure was described as a mutual agreement to part ways, allowing him to pursue other opportunities. The decision to fire Platt was influenced by a desire for a change in leadership style, reflecting broader discussions on governance and management within Kansas City.
