Council holds private evaluations of city attorney, city manager and city secretary under Texas Gov. Code §551.074; no public action taken
Summary
On Feb. 11 Port Arthur City Council convened in executive session to discuss duties, responsibilities and evaluations of the city attorney, city manager and city secretary under Tex. Gov't Code §551.074. The council reported no public actions following the closed session.
The Port Arthur City Council used a closed executive session Feb. 11 to discuss personnel matters including the duties, responsibilities and evaluations of the city attorney, city manager and city secretary. The presiding officer cited Texas Government Code section 551.074 as the statutory authority for the closed discussion.
The transcript records that the evaluation item had been requested by the presiding officer. Council members recessed to the closed session at about 4:12 p.m. and later reconvened in open session at about 5:51 p.m. The city attorney confirmed there were no action items resulting from the executive session.
The public record does not include evaluation content or personnel decisions because Tex. Gov't Code §551.074 authorizes private discussion of personnel matters. Any employment actions or formal directives would appear in public minutes if and when the council chooses to place them on an open meeting agenda.
