Westmoreland County supervisors vote to recess into closed session to interview county administrator candidates
Summary
At a continued meeting, the Westmoreland County Board of Supervisors voted to recess into a closed session to interview candidates for the county administrator position, citing a statutory provision and noting the interim county administrator would attend.
The Westmoreland County Board of Supervisors recessed its public session and moved into a closed meeting to interview prospective candidates for the county administrator position, an unidentified chair told attendees at the start of a continued meeting.
The chair announced that the first agenda item was a closed session "for the purpose of discussion, consideration, of interviews for prospective candidates for employment regarding the next candidate administrator," and cited "section 2.2 dash 3 7 1 1.81" as the authority for closing the meeting. The chair added that the interim county administrator would join the proceedings.
A motion to enter the closed session was made and seconded; the transcript does not identify who moved or seconded. The chair called the vote and those present voiced "aye." The chair then said, "Those ayes have it, motion's carried," and the board recessed to the boardroom for the closed-session interviews.
The transcript does not record the names of any candidates, the identities of the mover or seconder, the vote tally, or any actions taken during the closed session. The statute was cited in the meeting as read aloud; the precise statutory citation was transcribed verbatim from the record and may reflect the way it was spoken in the room rather than official code formatting. The board did not announce any timetable for returning to open session or releasing further details about the personnel process at the time the public session recessed.
