Resident praises CLGW cost savings; council votes to enter closed session on personnel
Summary
A resident commended CLGW’s additional unit for saving about $1,200 in time and travel; the Kennett City Council then moved, seconded and approved entering a closed session to discuss personnel, according to the meeting transcript.
A resident praised CLGW’s additional unit and said it saves citizens money on travel, and the Kennett City Council voted to enter a closed session to discuss personnel matters, the meeting transcript shows.
The resident said CLGW’s extra unit reduces trips for residents. “They save the citizens $1,200 for coming over here in 1 hour, pick up the unit, put on the roof,” the resident said. The speaker said the cooperation between the two parties involved is “working very, very nicely.”
On the meeting’s closed-session item, the same resident explained the council’s use of closed meetings. “Personnel discussions are closed meetings,” the resident said, adding that the council specifies why it is closing a meeting so members can discuss personnel without embarrassment in public.
A councilmember then called for a motion to move into closed session. “We do need to get a vote to go and close to close the current meeting going to closed session. We need a motion,” the councilmember said. The transcript records a motion, a second and the councilmember saying, “That passes.” The transcript does not record individual vote tallies or which members voted yes or no.
The meeting ended after the motion to adjourn into closed session was approved; no additional public actions or votes were recorded in the provided transcript excerpt.
