The Florence City Council adopted a written performance evaluation of the city manager discussed in executive session and authorized the mayor to execute and deliver the evaluation on behalf of the council. The council then approved an amendment extending the city manager's employment agreement by two years.
Before the votes, one council member stated they had not been privy to the relevant information and said they would recuse themselves from the personnel vote. After that statement, Unidentified Speaker 3 moved to adopt the written performance evaluation as discussed in executive session and to authorize the mayor to execute it; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. Unidentified Speaker 3 then moved to amend the city manager's employment agreement to extend the term by two years; that motion was seconded and likewise approved by voice vote. The transcript records vocal "aye" responses and the presiding official declaring "the ayes have it," but it does not include a roll-call or named vote tally.
The meeting recorder also noted that no formal vote was taken during the prior executive session. After these personnel actions, the council moved to adjourn and took a closing voice vote.
The transcript does not include the text of the written evaluation, the prior term length of the employment agreement, or the names of the council members who made or seconded the motions beyond the generic speaker labels in the record. Those details were not specified in the transcript.
