Council approves closed session under state statute to discuss employee performance
Summary
The council approved a motion to hold a closed session at the end of the meeting citing a state statute on personnel matters; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote.
Durham City Council approved a motion to move into closed session at the end of the meeting to consider personnel matters that the city attorney said were permissible under a cited state statute.
The city attorney referenced a statute number during the meeting (stated in the record as "one four three three dieciocho eleven a seis"). A council member moved to schedule the closed session; the motion was seconded and the council approved it by voice vote.
Why it matters: The motion signals that personnel qualifications, competence, performance or character of a staff member who reports to the office will be discussed in closed session. The council did not take final public action on personnel matters during the open session.
Ending: The council approved the closed session motion; no further details or votes were recorded in the open meeting minutes presented in the transcript.
