Barnwell council votes 4–2 to offer city administrator job to Candidate A after executive session
Summary
After an executive session on personnel, Barnwell City Council voted 4–2 to accept the recommendation of a special and personnel committee and offer the City Administrator position to Candidate A; two councilmembers opposed the motion.
Barnwell City Council voted 4–2 March 2 to offer the City Administrator position to a candidate identified only in the minutes as Candidate A after an executive session on personnel.
Councilmember Ricky Dixon moved to "accept the recommendation of the Special Committee and Personnel Committee to offer the position of City Administrator to Candidate A." The motion was seconded by Councilmember Louis Claytor and approved by votes from Dixon, Claytor, Mayor Ron Still and Mayor Pro Tem Peggy Kinlaw. Councilmembers Jana Myers and Alicia Davis voted against the motion.
Council entered executive session earlier in the meeting for personnel discussions related to the city administrator post; the minutes record the council returning from executive session and immediately taking the hiring vote. The minutes do not provide Candidate A's name, resume details, start date, salary, or conditions tied to the offer.
The motion and vote were recorded in the meeting minutes as the final substantive action before a unanimous procedural motion to adjourn. The minutes state only that the recommendation came from the Special Committee and Personnel Committee; they do not record any public debate, candidate presentation, or additional board direction following the vote.
