Greeley City Council adjourns to executive session for city manager performance review
Summary
The Greeley City Council voted 7-0 in March 2025 to move into an executive session to complete the annual performance appraisal of City Manager Raymond Lee, citing Colorado statute and the Greeley Municipal Code; the council did not return to the public meeting.
In March 2025, the Greeley City Council voted 7-0 to adjourn to an executive session to complete the annual performance appraisal of City Manager Raymond Lee, citing Colorado Revised Statutes §24-6-402(4)(f) and Greeley Municipal Code §2.15.1(a)(6). Councilor McDonald moved the session and Council member de Beattie seconded; Mayor Gates announced the motion carried and adjourned the meeting to executive session at 6:01 p.m.
The matter before the council was described on the record as "the annual performance appraisal review of city council appointee city manager Raymond Lee." Councilor McDonald made the motion on the floor saying, "I motion to go into executive session to discuss the following matter as provided under CRS section 24 dash 6 dash 4 0 2 4 f and Greeley Municipal Code section 2 dot 1 5 1 a 6 to discuss personnel reporting to city council." Mayor Gates then called the roll and recorded a unanimous vote of "aye" from all seven members. Mayor Gates told the chamber, "Motion carries 7 0. We will be adjourned at 06:01PM to executive session. We will not return to this venue. Good evening."
The council’s cited state statute and municipal-code provision authorize private discussion of personnel matters; the council provided no further public details about the appraisal at the meeting. The public record captured only the motion, the statutory citation, the unanimous roll-call vote and the council’s announcement that it would not return to the public venue.
Roll call on the record indicated all seven members were present: Council member Butler; Council member de Beattie; Mayor Pro Tem Hall; Council member Peyton; Council member Olson; Council member McDonald; and Mayor Gates. The session was limited to discussion of personnel reporting to the council; no subsequent votes or public actions related to the appraisal were recorded in the provided transcript.
The transcript does not specify the exact date other than "March 2025," does not record any public findings or evaluation details from the appraisal, and does not indicate how long the executive session lasted or whether any formal action followed the closed session. Those details were not specified on the record.
