Spencer County Fiscal Court holds executive session to discuss potential personnel action
Summary
At a Nov. 26, 2019 special meeting, the Spencer County Fiscal Court voted to enter an executive session under KRS 61.815 and KRS 61.810(1)(f) to discuss matters that might lead to appointment, discipline or dismissal of an individual. The session ran from 5:33 p.m. to 6:40 p.m.; the meeting adjourned at 6:41 p.m.
Spencer County Judge Executive John Riley called a special meeting of the Spencer County Fiscal Court to order at 5:32 p.m. on Nov. 26, 2019, at the Judge Executive's office in Taylorsville.
The court moved into a closed executive session shortly afterward. Esq. Travis moved, and Esq. Brewer seconded, that the court go into executive session “pursuant to KRS 61.815 and KRS 61.810 (1)(f) for ‘discussion or hearings which might lead to the appointment, discipline, or dismissal of an individual employee, member, or student’.” The motion carried with all members present voting “aye” and Esq. M. Moody noted as absent; the court entered executive session at 5:33 p.m.
The session was recorded in the minutes as running until 6:40 p.m., at which point Esq. Brewer moved and Esq. Travis seconded to come out of executive session; that motion carried with the same vote pattern. Immediately after returning to open session, Esq. Brewer moved to adjourn, seconded by Esq. Beaverson; the court adjourned at 6:41 p.m.
No public details of what was discussed in the executive session appear in the minutes; the stated statutory authority allows closed discussion of personnel matters. The minutes record the clerk’s attestation: the minutes and signatures were dated Dec. 2, 2019, and signed by Judge Executive John Riley and Spencer County Clerk Lynn Hesselbrock.
The meeting notice and agenda list a single new-business item — the executive session under KRS 61.815 and KRS 61.810(1)(f) — and do not specify any formal action taken in open session following the executive session. The minutes do not list additional votes, disciplinary actions, appointments, or directives taken in open session. No timeline for any subsequent public action was provided in the minutes.
