Kingsville commission approves minutes and consent agenda, moves to executive session on city manager evaluation

The Kingsville City Commission approved the minutes of its Oct. 28 meeting and then approved the consent agenda during Monday’s regular meeting, both by unanimous roll-call votes.

On the first motion, the presiding official recorded that Commissioner Lopez made the motion to approve the Oct. 28 minutes, seconded by Commissioner Alcorn; a roll-call vote followed with affirmative responses recorded. Later in the meeting, Commissioner Lopez moved to approve the consent agenda as presented; Commissioner Alvarez seconded and a roll-call vote recorded unanimous approval.

After approving the consent agenda, the presiding official announced the commission would take an executive session out of order and convene under Section 551.074 of the Texas Open Meetings Act to deliberate evaluation duties of the city manager. The announcement appears on the record immediately following the consent agenda vote; the transcript stops at the point the executive session is announced and does not record deliberations or any final action taken in executive session.
