Dominic Gibson called the town council special meeting to order at 7:02 a.m. July 1, 2025, and the council unanimously adopted the meeting agenda before moving into an executive session to discuss personnel matters and potential litigation.
The agenda was adopted after a motion by Gladys LaBeaver, seconded by Joshua (Josh) Ellis. Gibson called for a voice vote; council members John (John Brath), Gladys LaBeaver, Josh Ellis and Ray (Ray Gardner) were recorded as saying “aye,” and Gibson said there were no dissenting votes.
The council then moved to close the public meeting and enter an executive session. Council member John (John Brath) moved to close the public meeting and move into executive session; Gladys LaBeaver seconded the motion, which the council approved. The meeting record shows the executive session was to include all town council members, the town attorney, Michael Wynne, and the town clerk, Elizabeth Julia, to discuss personnel and potential litigation.
Meeting participants reconvened in open session later the same morning. Gladys LaBeaver moved to close the executive session and reopen the special meeting; the motion was seconded and approved. A roll call after reconvening recorded John, Gladys, Josh and Ray as voting “aye.” The council returned to open session at approximately 7:48 a.m.
No substantive policy actions, ordinance votes, appointments, contract awards, or public hearings were recorded in the available transcript beyond the motions to adopt the agenda and to enter and exit the executive session.
