Council creates task force to address employee‑relation issues following executive session
Summary
After an executive session on a formal employee allegation, council members voted to create a task force that includes council members, HR and administration representatives and the parish attorney to address employee relation matters and implement directives.
Following an executive session to receive and discuss a formal written allegation between employees, the council voted to create a task force charged with addressing employee‑relation issues between council employees and administrative employees and to resolve questions about operational handling. The motion named specific members and granted the task force authority to implement its directives.
The task force members named in the motion are Councilman C.J. Wazan, Councilmember John Amadee, HR Manager Crystal Tipton, Chief Administrative Officer Noah Lirat, and Parish Attorney Michelle Neal. The motion was moved and seconded and passed by the council on a recorded vote.
Why this matters: the creation of the task force formalizes a mechanism for the council, HR, administration and legal counsel to address personnel disputes and operational questions that were the subject of the executive session. The council recorded that, in executive session, attendees would include all council members, the parish president, the parish attorney and assistant parish attorneys who advised the council during the investigation.
The motion gave the task force authority to implement directives as needed to remedy issues and to make recommendations; the record does not contain the text of any final directives, only the task force membership and the council’s authorization to proceed.
