Cheektowaga Town Board enters executive session to discuss personnel appointment

At a meeting, the Cheektowaga Town Board voted to enter an executive session “to discuss matters leading to the appointment, or employment of a particular person.” The motion was seconded and approved by voice vote; the board announced there would be no action to follow the executive session.

The vote followed a roll call in which Council member Barbara Bukowski, Council member Diane Benjkowski, Council member Anthony Filipiksi, Council member Michael Jasinski, Council member Brian Polarski, Council member Vernon Thompson and Supervisor Nowak were listed as present. A board member made the motion to move into executive session; multiple members seconded the motion. The meeting record does not identify who moved or which members seconded by name.

The motion did not specify the individual who was the subject of the personnel discussion, and no further details about the subject, any timeline for returning to open session, or planned follow-up actions were announced on the public record. The transcript indicates the board intended the discussion to be confidential and that no formal action would be taken during the executive session.

The meeting record contains only the roll call, the motion to convene the executive session, the second(s), and the board’s voice vote to enter closed session. No additional public discussion, debate, or votes on appointments were recorded in the provided transcript excerpt.
