A divided El Mirage City Council fired seven-year City Manager Spencer Isom, who had sparred with public-safety workers in the city.
Councilman Ray Delgado told The Arizona Republic on Thursday that the termination stemmed from strained relations with police and fire.
The city’s fire union said Isom created a “toxic environment” for police and fire personnel.
