The Johnson County Board of Supervisors moved into a closed session at the July 23 work session to evaluate the professional competency of an individual whose appointment and performance were under consideration.
Supervisor Remington moved to go into closed session and Supervisor Greene Douglas seconded. The chair called roll: Remington—aye; Greene Douglas—aye; Green—aye. The motion carried 3–0. The chair cited Iowa Code section 21.5(1) to permit evaluation in closed session when necessary to prevent needless and irreparable injury to the individual and when the individual requests closed proceedings. The board then stood at ease to allow technological setup before the closed session began.
No additional details were discussed publicly because the board entered a closed session under the cited statute.
