Meeting moves to enter closed session to consider personnel interviews

An unnamed public meeting moved to enter a closed session to consider interviews of prospective candidates for employment and other personnel matters, citing a statute identified in the meeting as "kode perjiniannya 1950 as amanded." "I move in the close session for the reason stated," said a staff member during the motion.

The matter arose when a speaker asked for a motion and second to go into closed session "for discussion/consideration of interviews of prospective candidates for employment, assignment, appointment, promotion, performance, salary, disciplining or resignation of a specific public officers appointed or employees of the public body," language that was read into the record by the same staff member. The statement in the meeting identified the authority for a closed session as "kode perjiniannya 1950 as amanded."

During the subsequent roll call, Holmes responded "yes," indicating at least one affirmative vote on the motion. The transcript records that a motion and second had been made and that a roll call was called, but it does not provide a complete vote tally or a formal declared outcome in the accessible record.

The meeting did not include further on-the-record discussion of the candidates or personnel matters; the transcript shows only the motion language, the statutory citation as read aloud, and the roll-call affirmation by Holmes. The record does not specify who moved or seconded the motion, how other members voted, or any time frame or follow-up actions beyond the motion to go into closed session.

Because the transcription identifies the statutory citation only as spoken ("kode perjiniannya 1950 as amanded") and does not provide an exact citation number or jurisdiction, this article does not paraphrase that authority as a differently named statute. The meeting transcript also does not identify the governing body by name.
