Summary
On March 12, 2025 the Camp Verde Town Council voted unanimously to go into executive session to discuss appointments and contract negotiations for a Town Attorney and a Water Resources Attorney under A.R.S. § 38-431.03(A)(1) and (A)(4); the council later returned, provided direction to the Town Manager and adjourned.
The Camp Verde Town Council voted 7-0 on March 12 to enter an executive session to discuss appointments and contract negotiations for a Town Attorney and a Water Resources Attorney, citing Arizona statute A.R.S. § 38-431.03(A)(1) and (A)(4).
Mayor Dee Jenkins called the special session to order at 5:00 p.m. at 473 S. Main Street, Suite 106. Vice Mayor Marie Moore led the Pledge of Allegiance. The roll call recorded Mayor Dee Jenkins, Vice Mayor Marie Moore and Councilors Brian Bolton, Wendy Escoffier, Robert Foreman, Robin Godwin and Jessie Murdock as present; Town Manager Miranda Fisher and Town Clerk Leah Rhodes were also listed as present.
After Mayor Jenkins read Agenda Items 4 and 5 — each described in the agenda as an executive session to discuss appointment and contract negotiations for attorney services with Town Manager Miranda Fisher identified as the staff resource — Councilor Wendy Escoffier moved that the council go into executive session on those items. Councilor Robin Godwin seconded the motion. The council approved the motion by roll-call vote with each member recorded as "aye": Mayor Dee Jenkins; Vice Mayor Marie Moore; Councilors Brian Bolton, Wendy Escoffier, Robert Foreman, Robin Godwin and Jessie Murdock.
The minutes record the council returning from executive session at 6:25 p.m. and Mayor Jenkins stating that the council provided direction to Town Manager Miranda Fisher on Items 4 and 5. No appointment or contract award was announced in open session. Mayor Jenkins then adjourned the special session at 6:26 p.m.
The meeting minutes include a certification by Town Clerk Leah Rhodes dated April 3, 2025, attesting that the minutes accurately reflect the council's discussions and that a quorum was present. The minutes contain a signature block and clerical text that appears to contain a typographical duplication in the certification line; the clerk is listed in the document as Leah Rhodes.
The council took no further public action on the appointments at the March 12 special session. The Town Manager was recorded as the staff recipient of council direction; the minutes do not specify the substance of that direction or any timeline for a public appointment or contract vote.
