Neosho County commissioners voted to terminate a 911 employee effective July 1 after meeting in executive session on personnel matters.

A commissioner moved to terminate the employee “effective today, July 1,” and a second supported the motion. The vote was taken in open session and recorded as in favor; commissioners said the motion passed.

The termination followed separate executive sessions earlier in the meeting to discuss 911 and non-elected personnel; minutes show the commission recessed for those closed sessions and returned with “no action taken” before later approving the termination motion.

County officials did not discuss details of the termination in open session; the commission limited comments to procedural matters and confirmed the effective date. Because personnel matters were discussed in executive session, commissioners did not provide additional public details about the reasons for the termination.
