The Geneva City Council voted to adjourn into closed session to discuss "appointment, employment, compensation, discipline, performance, or dismissal of specific employees of the public body," during a special meeting.

Councilmember Mark moved to enter closed session and Councilmember Bowering seconded the motion. The council conducted a roll call vote; the motion carried 9–0 with one other person absent. The mayor asked those not present for the closed session to leave the room before the council recessed into closed session.

After the closed session the council reconvened in open session. A motion to return to open session was made and seconded; roll call voting recorded unanimous ayes. Immediately after reconvening the council adjourned the special meeting.

The meeting record shows the council's action consisted solely of approving closure of the public meeting for the stated personnel purpose; no personnel outcomes were announced in open session.
