Board votes 3-0 to enter closed session for executive director evaluation under Iowa code
Summary
The Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to enter a closed session to evaluate the professional competency of an individual pursuant to Iowa Code section 21.5(1); roll call votes recorded and the board stood at ease to address technical setup for the closed session.
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.
