Citing the Annotated Code of Maryland, the council moved into a closed session to discuss personnel matters after a unanimous roll-call vote; the chair said a public report on the reasons will be issued at a future meeting.
The Glenarden City Council voted unanimously to retire into a closed (executive) session to discuss personnel matters.
