Henderson council to post RFP seeking permanent city attorney
Summary
Interim City Manager Paylor Spruill announced the City would post a request for proposals for a City Attorney and councilmembers signaled a preference for hiring a permanent, rather than interim, attorney.
Interim City Manager Paylor Spruill announced Sept. 25 that the City of Henderson would issue a request for proposals for legal services to hire a City Attorney, and council members signaled a preference for seeking a permanent hire rather than an interim appointment.
The announcement followed a closed session convened under G.S. § 143-318.11(a)(6) on personnel matters. Councilmember Sara M. Coffey moved to enter closed session; Councilmember Geraldine Champion seconded the motion, which the council approved unanimously. After returning to open session, Spruill said the City would advertise the RFP and Council discussed whether the posting should target an interim or permanent attorney. Councilmembers expressed consensus leaning toward a permanent position, and the Council agreed to post the RFP on the City website.
The council did not record a formal vote to hire a particular candidate at the meeting, and the minutes do not specify a deadline for proposals, evaluation criteria, or who will manage the selection process. The announcement directs that the RFP will appear on the City website; further procedural steps, timeline and staffing for the selection were not specified in the minutes.
The council adjourned at 12:42 p.m.
