The Howard County Council convened a special meeting on March 3, 2025, primarily to discuss a personnel matter in a closed session. The meeting began with a roll call of council members, confirming attendance from Doctor Jones, Ms. Young, Ms. Rigby, and Mr. Youngman.
Council members addressed the necessity of the closed session, citing section 3-305(b)(1) of the General Provisions Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland, which allows for such meetings to discuss specific employee performance. A motion was made to close the meeting, which received a second and was unanimously approved by the council members present.
Following the vote, the council adjourned to enter the closed session, with no further business scheduled for the public meeting. The council indicated that they would reconvene for their regular legislative session at 7 PM, concluding the special meeting after the closed discussions. The live stream of the meeting was also ended, directing viewers to join the upcoming legislative session.
