After executive session, Silvis council directs attorney to deny Step 3 grievance referenced in record as "ASCME"

After closing an executive session on personnel and collective bargaining, the Silvis City Council on June 18 directed legal counsel to write a letter communicating denial of a Step 3 grievance. Alderman Tony Trulson moved to direct the city’s legal counsel to send the denial "consistent with their counsel," and Alderman Doug Greer seconded the motion. The council approved the motion 5–1 with Alderman Joshua Dyer voting no and two members absent.

The transcript refers to the union or organization as "ASCME" in the meeting record; the meeting text does not include additional detail about the grievance claims, the underlying personnel matter, or the legal rationale beyond the motion language that the direction be "consistent with their counsel." Because the meeting report records the instruction but does not include supporting documentation, the record does not state whether the letter had been drafted at the time of the meeting or when it would be transmitted.

The action followed an executive session that the council opened at 8:21 p.m. and closed at 9:36 p.m.; the Regular meeting resumed at 9:37 p.m. No additional votes or remedies were recorded on the grievance in the transcript segments provided.
