Green Level Town Council upholds employee termination, converts two-week unpaid suspension to paid
Loading...
Summary
At its March 26, 2026 special-call meeting, the Green Level Town Council voted 5-0 to uphold the Town Administrator’s decision to terminate employee Derrick Torres and modified a two-week unpaid suspension to paid. The action followed a closed session held under NC G.S. 143-318.11(a)(6).
Green Level Town Council voted unanimously on March 26, 2026, to uphold Town Administrator Brandon Enoch’s decision to terminate the employment of Derrick Torres, while converting a previously ordered two-week unpaid suspension to paid status.
Councilmember Remonia Enoch moved to uphold the administrator’s decision; Mayor Pro Tem Patricia Jones seconded. The motion carried on a 5-0 vote after the council met in closed session under North Carolina General Statute 143-318.11(a)(6), the state provision the council cited as authorization to discuss personnel matters privately.
The action was taken during a special-call meeting convened at 5:30 p.m. at the Green Level Municipal Building, 2510 Green Level Church Road. Town Clerk Taylor Elizondo recorded roll call and noted that all five council members were present: Mayor Hosea McBroom; Mayor Pro Tem Patricia Jones; and Councilmembers Remonia Enoch, Stephanie Enoch and Sandra McCollum.
The meeting record does not disclose the substance of the closed-session discussion. Because personnel matters were discussed under the cited statute, the minutes and public record do not include details of the council’s deliberations. The open-session motion specifies only that the termination was upheld and that the two-week suspension originally designated as unpaid will be paid.
Council also approved the meeting agenda at the start of the session and scheduled the next regular meeting for April 9, 2026, at 7:00 p.m. All procedural motions recorded at the special-call meeting passed unanimously.
The town’s minutes list Town Administrator Brandon Enoch, Town Clerk Taylor Elizondo and Town Attorney Eugene Russell as officials present. The minutes were signed and submitted by Elizondo.
No additional documents or explanations were included in the publicly posted minutes regarding the personnel decision. Further information about the termination or any appeals, reinstatement proceedings, or related employment records would be available only if released by the town or ordered under applicable public-records processes.
