Carrollton council approves hiring of Chris Kiehl as Village Administrator after executive session
Summary
Mayor William J. Stoneman announced Chris Kiehl as the selected Village Administrator; the council approved the hire Nov. 24 with one abstention after an executive session on contract negotiations and employee compensation.
Mayor William J. Stoneman told the Village Council on Nov. 24 that four candidates were interviewed for the Village Administrator post and that Chris Kiehl was selected. Parker moved to accept the hiring and Barto seconded; the motion passed with a recorded vote of five yes and one abstention (Locke).
The council entered executive session at 7:30 p.m. on a motion by White, seconded by Lambert, for contract negotiations and employee compensation; the motion passed by roll call. The council returned to open session at 8:21 p.m., made the hiring motion and then adjourned at 8:22 p.m.
Why it matters: Hiring a Village Administrator fills an executive management position that oversees daily municipal operations and the implementation of council decisions. Council took formal action to approve the appointment; the transcript records Locke’s abstention but does not provide a reason.
What happens next: The hiring was accepted by vote; the transcript does not record the start date, salary, contract terms or any further procedural steps. Those details were not specified during this meeting and will require follow-up for public record.
