Board of Aldermen votes 6-0 to enter closed session citing RSMO 610.0213 to discuss personnel
Summary
The Board of Aldermen voted 6-0 on July 2 to enter a closed session under RSMO 610.0213 to discuss hiring, firing, discipline or promotion of particular employees and personal employee information; the motion was moved by Alderman Cleave and seconded by Alderman Meadows.
The Board of Aldermen voted 6-0 at its July 2, 2024 meeting to enter a closed session to discuss personnel matters under RSMO 610.0213.
The presiding speaker announced there was no public participation and asked for a motion "to go into closed session per RSMO 610.0213, hiring, firing, discipline, or promoting of particular employees by a public governmental body, and personal information about the employees discussed," according to the meeting transcript. Alderman Cleave moved the motion and Alderman Meadows seconded it. Madam Clerk then called the roll for the motion.
Madam Clerk recorded affirmative votes for six named participants in the roll call used for the vote. The clerk's roll call during the vote named Alderman Cali, Alderman Cleave, Alderman Madrigal, Alderman Stewart, Alderman Meadows and Alderman Loesch, each answering "Yes." The presiding officer announced, "With the vote of 6 to 0, the ayes have it, and we will now go into closed session."
The motion invoked RSMO 610.0213, the Missouri statute permitting closed meetings for certain personnel matters and for discussion of personal information about employees. No public comments or public participation were taken before the motion; the transcript records an explicit statement that there was no public participation prior to the motion.
The board proceeded into closed session. The transcript does not record any discussion or outcomes from the closed session itself.
Clarifying details recorded in the meeting transcript show inconsistent name forms between the initial roll call and the roll call used for the voting on the motion: the first roll call named Mayor Kelly, Alderman Kelly, Alderman Cleave, Alderman Madrigal, Alderman Stewart, Alderman Meadows and Alderman Lush; the vote roll call recorded responses for individuals identified as Alderman Cali, Alderman Cleave, Alderman Madrigal, Alderman Stewart, Alderman Meadows and Alderman Loesch. The meeting record presented here reproduces the names and responses as spoken in the transcript without reconciling those differences.
