The Hollister City Council on Monday put off discussing the possible removal of Parks and Recreation Commissioner Don Kelley due to a perceived conflict of interest.
Kelley, who holds the same position with the county, has held the city role for the last eight years.
In October, Mayor Doug Emerson called for him to resign from his position because, the mayor contended, it creates a conflict of interest between the city and the county.
Upon being asked to take on the role by Supervisor Don Marcus, he e-mailed the public works director to ensure there wouldn't be any conflict of interest.
He said the only reason he thinks he's being asked to resign is over enforcement of safety rules at the skate park. After bringing it up to the mayor, he said he hasn't gotten a straight answer.
Officials did not state a reason for moving the decision to December.
