Glenarden City Council votes unanimously to move into closed session on personnel
Summary
Glenarden City Council voted unanimously to adjourn the public meeting and retire into an executive (closed) session to discuss personnel matters under the Annotated Code of Maryland §10-508(a). The council closed its open session after a roll-call vote and scheduled its next regular meeting for Tuesday.
Glenarden City Council voted unanimously Monday evening to adjourn the open meeting and retire into a closed executive session to discuss personnel matters under the Annotated Code of Maryland, State Government Article §10-508(a).
Mayor Curtis introduced the motion to retire to executive session citing the Maryland statute that permits the council "by majority vote" to meet in closed session for personnel. Councilman Harry moved the motion; the motion was seconded and a roll-call vote followed. The clerk recorded affirmative votes from Councilman Hairston, Councilman Herring, Councilwoman Jones, Councilman Williams, Mayor Pro Tem Ferguson and Mayor Curtis.
The council did not take further public action on personnel during the open session. Mayor Curtis announced the open portion was closed at 7:14 p.m. and said a report disclosing the reasons for the closed session would be issued at a future meeting as required by the cited statute.
Next steps: the council reconvened in closed session for the stated personnel discussion and noted its regular meeting date will move to next Tuesday because of the recent holiday.
