Baker council confirms no decisions in executive session and appoints Mr. Forbes as city attorney through month’s end
Summary
The City Council of Baker emerged from an executive session saying no decisions were made and voted unanimously to appoint Mr. Forbes to serve as city attorney until his retirement at the end of the month. The motion was made by the vice president and seconded by Robert Young.
The City Council of Baker came out of an executive session at 6:52 p.m. and later voted unanimously to appoint Mr. Forbes to serve as the city attorney until his retirement at the end of the month.
The president noted, “No votes were taken, in executive session,” when the council returned to open session. The council then moved to formalize staffing for the city attorney role; the vice president made the motion and Robert Young seconded it.
The motion to allow Mr. Forbes to serve as the city attorney until his retirement carried on a roll call that recorded “yes” votes from Districts 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1. The president announced, “Motion carries,” at 6:55 p.m.
Council members did not record any votes or decisions during the executive session itself; the open-session motions recorded are the formal actions taken after that session. The appointment is effective immediately and is scheduled to last until Mr. Forbes’ stated retirement at the end of the month.
The council did not provide additional detail in the meeting record about Mr. Forbes’ prior title, the scope of duties during this interim period, or the exact retirement date.
