Benton Harbor City Commissioners continue to discuss the status of City Manager Darwin Watson. At Monday’s meeting, they emerged from a closed session, requested by Watson, at which they considered his employment agreement. In the end, commissioners voted to amend the city manager’s contract without specifying in what way. Mayor Marcus Muhammad said an ad hoc committee consisting of Commissioners Ron Singleton, Duane Seats, and Sharon Henderson would work out that amendment. Muhammad said they would have ten days. In February, the commission voted against an extension of Watson’s contract while still leaving him in place. The discussion is expected to resume at the next city commission meeting.
