Georgetown Personnel Committee enters executive session, schedules interviews for seasonal and operator positions
Summary
At a May 27 meeting, the Georgetown City Council Personnel Committee voted 3–0 to enter an executive session under Illinois statute 5ILCS 120/2(c)(5) for personnel matters, reconvened later that evening, and set interviews for seasonal street & alley and water and sewer operator positions for June 3 at 5:15 p.m.
The Georgetown City Council Personnel Committee voted unanimously to enter an executive session under Illinois statute 5ILCS 120/2(c)(5) for personnel matters during its May 27, 2025 meeting, then reconvened and scheduled interviews for two open positions.
Chairman Waterman declared a quorum present after roll call that listed Alder Michelle Brooks (Ward 2/Chair), Alder Mike Scott (Ward 3) and Alder Nick Krabel (Ward 4); Jacqueline Wilson was noted as city clerk. Alder Michelle Brooks moved to enter executive session under 5ILCS 120/2(c)(5) for personnel matters; Alder Mike Scott seconded the motion, which passed unanimously, 3–0. The committee entered executive session at about 5:15 p.m.
The public minutes do not record the substance of the executive session; the statute cited permits closed deliberations on personnel matters. The committee reconvened later the same evening after a motion by Alder Nick Krabel, seconded by Alder Mike Scott; that motion also passed unanimously, 3–0, and the executive session concluded at about 5:34 p.m.
After returning to open session, committee members chose possible applicants to interview for a seasonal street and alley position and a water and sewer operator position. The interviews were scheduled for Tuesday, June 3, at 5:15 p.m. The committee then approved a motion to adjourn, moved by Alder Michelle Brooks and seconded by Alder Nick Krabel, and adjourned at 5:35 p.m.
No votes on hiring or appointment were recorded in the minutes; the documented actions were the unanimous votes to enter and exit executive session, the scheduling of interviews, and adjournment. The meeting minutes cite statute 5ILCS 120/2(c)(5) as the legal basis for the closed session.
