Commission authorizes city administrator to negotiate under executive-session parameters
Summary
Fargo City Commission voted to authorize City Administrator Michael Redinger to negotiate within parameters set in an executive session; the motion passed on a roll-call vote.
The Fargo City Commission voted to authorize City Administrator Michael Redinger to negotiate within the parameters established during an earlier executive session.
The authorization came after the commission returned from executive session and a commissioner moved to empower the administrator to proceed. The motion was seconded and approved on a roll-call vote.
Mayor Tim Mahoney presided over the action. The roll-call recorded affirmative responses from commissioners Kolpak, Berndberg, Sepphorn, Strand and Mahoney.
The motion, as stated at the meeting, directed the city administrator to carry out negotiations “within the parameters as established in the executive session.” The commission did not state those negotiation parameters in open session.
No further discussion or public testimony was recorded on the item in open session. Because the substance of the parameters was discussed in executive session, the commission provided only the limited, procedural direction that Redinger proceed with negotiations consistent with what had been reviewed behind closed doors.
The commission moved on to its next agenda items after the vote.
