Council takes two votes on city administrator contract; initial motion fails, later motion approves contract
Summary
Council considered and voted twice on the city administrator's contract. An initial motion failed; after executive sessions the council approved the city administrator's contract by roll call (4-2).
The Andover City Council debated and took two separate final votes on a proposed contract for the city administrator.
At an earlier point in the meeting the council moved to approve the city administrator's contract; that motion failed on an initial roll call (recorded in the transcript as failing 3-2). The matter was later taken into executive session(s) under K.S.A. 75-4319(b)(1) to discuss personnel matters of non-elected personnel. After returning from executive session the council again moved to accept the city administrator contract as presented; a roll-call vote reported the motion carried 4-2.
The transcript shows council members voted both for and against at different times; the final recorded outcome at the end of the meeting was the contract’s acceptance following executive-session discussion. The council recorded that the meeting and decisions complied with K.S.A. 75-4319(b)(1) authority for executive sessions on personnel matters.
No salary detail or contractual terms beyond the existence of the contract approval were read into the public record at length in the transcript; the motion language in the public session was to accept the city administrator’s contract as presented. The council did not amend the contract on the record.
