The Westmoreland County Board of Supervisors held a special call meeting and voted to enter a closed session to consider prospective candidates for the county administrator position. An unidentified board member opened the meeting, asked whether anyone wished to amend the special-call agenda and, with none raised, requested a motion to move into closed session for personnel matters.
The speaker said they did not have the legal code section immediately available but indicated it would be the same section used at the previous board meeting. The stated purpose of the closed session was “consideration of prospective candidates of employment regarding the next county administrator.” A motion to enter closed session was made and seconded; after hearing no further discussion, the board voted by voice and the chair announced, “Ayes have it.” The transcript does not record individual vote tallies or the names of the members who moved or seconded the motion.
The board announced it would recess to the conference room for the closed session and that the candidate would be part of the proceeding. The speaker also noted that “Richard’s not gonna be here,” indicating at least one named individual (first name only) would not attend. The transcript records the board directing that the session be tied to the boardroom conference room for the recess.
No further public actions, candidate names, interview outcomes, or follow-up steps were provided in the record. The transcript does not specify which legal code section authorized the closed session or any schedule for subsequent public actions regarding the county administrator appointment.
