The North Las Vegas City Council voted Wednesday to terminate its former city manager Qiong Liu for cause and denied her proposed severance deal.
Liu, who has been on a 30-day paid administrative leave, now has five days to request a public hearing to appeal the decision.
Speaking to the council, Liu denied allegations that she pressured staff to give her a retroactive $30,000 pay raise and instruct IT staff not to share her work emails with city officials.

She is also accused of forging a document in order to get a pay raise. Liu’s actions triggered an independent investigation by an employment law firm, who found she may have also violated state and federal law.
