Council approves funding to hire new MPEDC executive director after executive session
Summary
After an executive session, council voted unanimously to approve expenditure of funds to hire a new executive director for the Mount Pleasant Economic Development Corporation (MPEDC).
After returning from an executive session July 15, Mount Pleasant City Council voted to approve the expenditure of funds necessary to hire a new executive director for the Mount Pleasant Economic Development Corporation (MPEDC).
The action followed an executive‑session discussion in which council cited Texas Government Code Sections 551.071 (consultation with attorney) and 551.074 (personnel matters). The council then reconvened in open session, and a motion to approve the expenditure was made and seconded; the roll call showed unanimous approval.
Council did not announce the candidate’s name or specific contract terms in open session. Council thanked members of the EDC who were present at the meeting for their work. Staff will proceed with executing the expenditure and follow the city’s usual hiring and contract processes for the MPEDC executive director position.
