After an executive session conducted under Texas Government Code Section 551.074 (personnel matters), the Navasota City Council reconvened and took two personnel actions.

The council reappointed the Navasota municipal judge to a two-year term and approved an 8.9% salary increase. The motion to reappoint the municipal judge was made and seconded on the council floor; Council Member Stevens moved the reappointment and Council Member Fulks seconded. The council approved the motion by voice vote.

The council also authorized the mayor to finalize negotiations and execute a contract with Robert Hemminger to serve as city manager. The motion to authorize the mayor to finalize the contract was moved and seconded on the record (Motion by Council Member Stevens; second by Council Member Gessler) and approved by voice vote.

Both items were discussed in executive session as permitted by Section 551.074 of the Texas Government Code; the council announced the motions and recorded approvals publicly after the session.
