After executive session, commission unanimously sustains employee appeal and returns worker to duty
Summary
Following an executive session permitted under the Alabama Open Meetings Act, the Chilton County Commission voted unanimously to sustain an employee's appeal and reinstate the employee to work effective immediately.
Chilton County commissioners convened an executive session on June 24 under exceptions to the Alabama Open Meetings Act to discuss the job performance and related matters of certain public employees and to consult with the county attorney on matters likely to lead to litigation. After returning to open session the commission voted unanimously to sustain an employee’s appeal and to return the employee to work effective immediately.
The county attorney recommended the executive-session topics be discussed privately under the Alabama Open Meetings Act’s personnel and litigation exceptions; commissioners approved the executive session and later voted on the outcome in open session. Commissioner Hall moved to sustain the employee’s appeal; Commissioner Bohn seconded. The record shows a unanimous vote to sustain the appeal and reinstate the employee. The commission did not provide additional details about the appeal’s subject matter or identify the employee in the public record during the meeting.
The commission stated it reserved the opportunity to take additional action after the executive session if necessary and confirmed the vote and reinstatement in open session.
