North Vernon City Council suspends golf director

North Vernon’s Director of Golf is on paid leave. The City Council voted Monday night to suspend Robin Brown immediately. Council President Brian Hatfield wouldn’t elaborate beyond saying it is for an undisclosed “violation of the employee handbook.” The vote was 4-1 with Jack Kelley voting “no.”

City Attorney Larry Greathouse explained that Brown’s suspension will last until the council is able to investigate and determine a finding of facts. In the meantime, operations at St. Anne’s Golf Course will be maintained by course staff.
