Summary
The council voted to enter executive session under South Dakota Codified Law 1-25-2 to discuss qualifications, competence, performance and character of an employee or public officer; the motion was moved, seconded and approved with the meeting entering executive session at 7:40 p.m.

A motion to enter executive session was moved and seconded, the council voted in favor by voice and the chair declared the meeting in executive session at 7:40 p.m.
Why it matters: SDCL 1-25-2 allows governmental bodies to meet privately for certain personnel matters. The council's invocation of the statute indicates the discussion involves a personnel evaluation or employment-related matter that the body judged appropriate for a closed session under state law.
Outcome: Executive session was entered; no further public deliberations or outcomes were recorded in the transcript excerpt provided.
