The answer is because people should know who is coming into office, but they do not have the right to know why someone is being fired for private reasons.

Explanation:

It's important for the hiring discussion to be made public by the city council since it relates to the use of public funds to compensate these additional workforces. In contrast, firing processes do not relate to incurring funds and thus the public does not need to know about the reasons of the firing.
