Personnel Administration Committee authorizes closed session and posts executive secretary job for three weeks

At a meeting of the Personnel Administration Committee of the Board of Aldermen, committee members voted to close portions of the meeting under the provisions referred to in the record as "6 10 dot 0 2 1 3" so members could discuss the hiring, firing, disciplining or promoting of Board employees, and approved posting the executive secretary position for three weeks.

The committee first approved the minutes from Thursday, 01/08/2026. The clerk called the roll and recorded four affirmative votes, sustaining the motion to approve the minutes.

Later, the committee considered agenda item 3 early to accommodate a member's schedule and moved to close portions of the meeting to discuss personnel matters under the cited provision. The motion was seconded and the clerk recorded four "aye" votes — Alderman Cohn, Alderman Clark Hubbard, Alderman Aldridge and President Green — authorizing the committee to meet in closed session. The chair asked SCLTV to place the meeting into closed session.

After the closed-session authorization, the committee took up the posting of the executive secretary position. The committee moved to post the position for three weeks; the motion was seconded and passed on a recorded 4–0 vote. No public testimony or substantive public discussion on the posting was recorded in the public portion of the meeting.

With no further announcements, a motion to adjourn carried on an affirmative voice vote and the committee adjourned. The meeting record does not specify a next meeting date or additional procedural steps related to hiring or recruitment.
