Council moves into executive session to discuss city manager recruitment
Summary
At its noon meeting the council voted to recess into an executive session to discuss recruitment, interview and appointment procedures for a city manager, including consultations with the Duffy Group and legal counsel; the motion cited a state statute but the transcript’s citation is garbled.
The Chair moved the city council into an executive session at 12 p.m. Tuesday in City Hall Council Chambers to discuss recruitment, interview, employment and the appointment process for the position of city manager, including consultation with the Duffy Group and legal advice, the Chair said.
"Move to move to executive session," the Chair said, later citing "ARS38Dash4310381 and 3" as the legal basis for the closed meeting. The transcript identifies the recruiting consultant as the Duffy Group.
A motion was made and seconded, and the Chair called for a voice vote. The transcript records affirmative responses of "Aye" and records that the body "moved to executive session"; individual votes were not recorded. The Chair then declared the meeting adjourned and the council recessed into the closed session.
The transcript does not provide a clear or standard statutory citation beyond the verbatim string quoted above, and it does not record the names of the motion-maker or the seconder. No substantive deliberations or outcomes from the executive session appear in the public transcript.
The action falls under a personnel/appointment exception to open-meeting requirements as cited in the motion; the exact statute referenced in the record is unclear in the transcript.
