Henderson City Council terminates Brough Law Firm contract tied to employee survey about mayor
Summary
The council voted on Oct. 30 to terminate its contract with the Brough Law Firm, which had been engaged to investigate an employee survey concerning Mayor Melissa Elliott. Minutes record the motion as approved unanimously but contain a clerical inconsistency listing one member both as a yes vote and as absent.
The Henderson City Council voted on Oct. 30 to terminate its contract with the Brough Law Firm, which the minutes say had been engaged to investigate an employee survey concerning Mayor Melissa Elliott.
Councilmember Tami Walker moved to terminate the contract; Councilmember Geraldine Champion seconded. The minutes record the motion as 'APPROVED unanimously' and list yes votes as Champion, Lamont Noel, Sam Seifert, Michael Venable, Garry D. Daeke, Ola Thorpe-Cooper and Tami Walker, while also listing Coffey and Venable as absent. The minutes do not resolve this clerical inconsistency.
The motion text in the minutes does not include discussion, the reasons for terminating the contract, or any statement from the law firm or city staff. A clerk's note earlier in the minutes records that Councilmember Garry D. Daeke arrived at 3:01 p.m.; the minutes do not reconcile that timing notation with the attendance/vote entries for this item. No further public comment or documentation about the underlying employee survey or the law firm's work appears in the minutes.
The meeting adjourned at 3:42 p.m.
