Pottawattamie supervisors enter closed sessions to discuss hiring evaluations
Summary
The board held closed sessions May 5 under Iowa Code 21.5(1)(i) to discuss evaluation of individual hiring; the minutes record motions to enter and exit closed session and unanimous roll-call votes but do not disclose personnel details.
The Pottawattamie County Board of Supervisors entered closed session at 1:00 p.m. on May 5 under Iowa Code 21.5(1)(i) to discuss evaluation of individual hiring. The board made and carried motions to enter and exit closed session, with roll-call votes recorded as AYES: Brian Shea, Tim Wichman, Susan Miller, Jeff Jorgensen and Keith Jones.
The published minutes record the statutory authority cited for the closed session and the motions to go into and out of closed session, but they do not disclose personnel names or the substance of confidential deliberations, in keeping with the statute cited. The board later adjourned at 3:01 p.m.
Because these were closed sessions held under state statute, the minutes appropriately limit the public record to the motion and roll-call outcomes; any official personnel actions would be reflected in future public records if the board takes formal action in open session.
