Marion council swears in two members, sets executive session for administrator review
Summary
The Marion City Council opened its meeting by swearing in two re-elected council members, approved the published agenda and announced a one-hour executive session later for a six-month administrator evaluation; no further action will follow the executive session.
Janet called the Marion City Council to order and the meeting opened with the Pledge of Allegiance. The council administered the oath to two re-elected members, Kevin Burkholder and Zach Colette, who each recited, "I do solemnly swear or affirm that I will support the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of Kansas, and faithfully discharge the duties of Marion City Council." Both signed their oaths thereafter.
After the swearing-in the council reviewed the published agenda. A member moved to approve the agenda, the motion was seconded and the council voted 'aye'; the chair declared the motion adopted unanimously. The presiding official announced item 13: a one-hour executive session to conduct a six-month evaluation of the city administrator. The council stated that, when it reconvened, it would take no further action other than to adjourn.
The meeting proceeded into routine business after those opening items.
