Summary

The board voted to enter an executive session to discuss personnel for the planning board secretary position (one remaining applicant) and related legal matters; the board intends to continue discussion upstairs and handle stipend/appointment in closed session.

The Grand Island Town Board voted in workshop to enter an executive session to discuss a planning board secretary appointment and associated legal issues.

Board members said two applications were submitted for the planning board secretary; one applicant withdrew, leaving a single active application. The presiding official said the position carries a stipend and that personnel matters should be discussed in executive session; “they do get a stipend. They do get paid. So I think it should be done upstairs,” the presiding official said.

Board members moved to enter executive session to address legal and personnel issues. The presiding official said the board would “talk about some legal issues first” and then, if desired, return to open session to address policy matters.

The workshop record shows the motion to enter executive session was made and seconded and the board proceeded to convene the executive session. No final appointment or public personnel decision was recorded in open session during this workshop; any final hiring action will be announced after the closed-session process if required by law.
