McKinney council amends municipal judge’s contract after closed-session review
Summary
Following an executive session that included a personnel evaluation of the presiding municipal court judge, the City Council moved to amend Judge Carlson’s contract as discussed in closed session and approved the amendment by voice vote.
The McKinney City Council voted on May 20 to amend the contract of the presiding municipal court judge after a closed executive session addressing personnel matters.
The council entered executive session citing the Texas Government Code, including Section 551.071 (consultation with attorney) and Section 551.074 (personnel matters). The posted executive-session topics included a master services agreement with Sierra Cedar LLC (dated Jan. 25, 2021), pending or contemplated litigation regarding the city’s application to decertify a portion of its certificate of convenience and necessity in Collin County (SOAH docket 4732507888; PUC docket 55656), litigation styled City of McKinney v. Hailey ZeeSun Hyesom Motors Corp USA (310 E. University Dr., McKinney; cause number 471-06812-2024), and SLC McKinney Partners LP v. City of McKinney (cause number 49301983). The city also held an annual performance evaluation for the presiding municipal court judge under the personnel exception.
After returning to open session, an unnamed council member said, “Mister mayor, I'd like to move that we amend Judge Carlson's contract as proposed in executive session.” Another council member seconded. The council approved the motion by voice vote; the transcript records the response “Aye. Motion carries.” The transcript does not record roll-call votes or individual vote tallies.
The meeting then adjourned the work session and reconvened for later proceedings. The transcript provides no additional details of the content of the contract amendment or any change in compensation, term, or performance requirements; the council voted only to authorize the amendment as discussed in executive session.
