Cole County Commission moves into closed session to discuss personnel under Missouri statute
Summary
The commission voted to enter closed session to discuss personnel matters, citing the Revised Statutes of Missouri that allow executive sessions for personnel; a roll call recorded at least two affirmative votes before the meeting went into closed session.
A commissioner moved to go into closed session citing state statute to discuss personnel matters and the motion was seconded. The motion referenced the Revised Statutes of Missouri that permit closed meetings for specified subjects; the transcript records the motion as "pursuant to section 16.021 of the revised statutes of Missouri" and later references "section 610.021," language county speakers used to explain the statutory basis for the session. A roll call was taken and the transcript records at least two affirmative votes: "Jeff — yes" and "Harry — yes." The commission then entered closed session.
The transcript does not include the text of what was discussed in closed session. The commission identified the subject as personnel matters under the statute referenced in the meeting and did not announce any final action on the record before going into the closed session. Any details from the closed session, including votes or decisions made there, were not part of the public transcript.
