The city council, presided over by Mayor Jacqueline Wells, entered an executive session at 10:01 a.m. during its July 11, 2025, special meeting to consider information designated confidential under Wyoming Statute 16-4-405, Councilwoman Lumen moved.
Councilwoman Lumen told the council she was moving “to enter into executive session at 10:01 a.m. for Wyoming statute 16-4-405(a)(9) and (2) to consider or receive any information classified confidential by law, to consider the appointment, employment, right to practice, or dismissal of a public officer, professional person, or employee, or to hear complaints or charges brought against an employee, professional service person, or officer, unless the employee, professional person, or officer requests a public hearing.” The motion was seconded and carried in a voice vote with seven affirmative responses recorded.
Mayor Jacqueline Wells, Vice Mayor Daryl Garner, Councilwoman Lumen and council members recorded on the roll call participated in the voice vote to enter the executive session; the motion was recorded as passing with seven "yeas." The transcript shows the council reassembled and Vice Mayor Daryl Garner moved to come out of executive session at 10:22 a.m.; that motion also passed on a voice vote with seven affirmative responses. When the council asked whether there were any objections to matters discussed in executive session, none were raised.
The council did not disclose the substance of the executive-session discussion on the public record. After reconvening, the meeting was adjourned at 10:23 a.m.
Because the council cited Wyoming Statute 16-4-405, the matters discussed were characterized in the motion as confidential information or personnel matters, including appointment, employment, right to practice or dismissal, or complaints or charges brought against employees or officers. The transcript does not identify additional details about individuals or specific personnel actions.
