Lebanon council moves personnel compensation matters to closed session and accepts employee sick-leave election
Summary
The council voted to discuss compensation for employees covering additional duties in executive session under 5 ILCS 120/2(c)(1); it also accepted an employee election by James Missy to use accrued sick leave toward health insurance, recorded by roll call.
Lebanon City Council voted on May 11 to move several personnel compensation and staffing items into executive session under the Illinois Open Meetings Act and accepted one employee’s election to use accrued sick leave for health insurance.
Council approved a motion to discuss compensation of specific employees in closed session under 5 ILCS 120/2(c)(1), citing the confidentiality of individual employee compensation. The motion to convene executive session carried on roll call. Council members confirmed which officials would attend the closed session, including council members, the clerk, city attorney, mayor (presiding official), treasurer and chief.
Separately, the council considered and accepted an election by employee James Missy to use accrued sick leave toward health-insurance premiums pursuant to an election letter. The motion to accept the election passed on roll call; two members recorded their votes as "No" while the remainder voted "Yes." The council also discussed but did not finalize appointment of Kevin Haas as interim Water/Sewer superintendent, noting Mr. Haas had not confirmed a conversation with his union representative and that the item would be returned to committee.
Next steps recorded by council members included convening the executive session for detailed personnel discussion and returning to open session without a vote on compensation until a later, properly noticed resolution, if required.
