Campton Hills trustees vote to enter closed session under OMA §2(c)(1) to discuss personnel and legal counsel
Summary
Trustees voted to enter closed session under the Open Meetings Act, citing section 2(c)(1), to discuss the appointment, employment, compensation, discipline or dismissal of specific employees and matters related to legal counsel; the motion passed by roll call.
The Campton Hills Village Board voted to go into closed session to discuss personnel matters and legal counsel, invoking the Open Meetings Act exemption for deliberations about the appointment, employment, compensation, discipline, performance or dismissal of specific employees (section 2(c)(1)).
A motion to enter closed session was moved and recorded in the transcript as moved by a trustee identified in the record as Frank; the board cited "section 2 c 1" of the Open Meetings Act as the basis for closing the meeting. The motion was seconded and approved by roll call; multiple trustees responded "aye" during the roll call, including trustees Benetti, Bogan, Burson and Hawkenberger as named in the record.
The board's invocation of OMA §2(c)(1) indicates the discussion will focus on personnel and related legal counsel matters; the transcript does not provide details on the specific employees, allegations, or counsel positions to be discussed. The meeting then proceeded into closed session.
No votes or formal decisions regarding personnel or counsel were recorded in the public transcript excerpt; the board announced only that the motion to enter closed session had passed.
