Maybe he had an employment contract rather than being employed “at will”. If that was the case, he gets paid unless you can terminate for cause. And, that usually involves something damn serious.
Even employment at will in these types of positions can get sticky if you aren’t careful. Easier, and cheaper, to negotiate a settlement.

If you read the agreement, there’s a lot of mutual “won’t sue” language. It appears both sides want it to end.
My educated guess is they didn’t have anything specific that would allow them to fire him. So, the meeting MIGHT have been to start the process of getting it moving with a less than good review. That would take 3-6 months anyway so why not just do it this way? Makes sense and brings closure.

Pretty much says it all, and he admitted he could not handle the job requirements. Good luck to him in the future.
Lucked out?
I think there is a lot more to the story on how he got the job in the first place. As a Fargo resident I was very unhappy how this all went down at the time. This is from memory so a couple facts might be out of order....
Vettle applies for FPD chief, does not get the job
Vettle learns of the upcoming retirement of Roger Gress
Vettle resigns from his elected position on the park board that he has been on about a decade
Vettle gets hired by the same park board he resigned from months earlier
Vettle gets paid a salary of over 2 times what he was making at FPD. Who pays anyone 2X their current salary to move into a position where they have no experience?
