Mayor: council 'in agreement' after executive session on personnel and salaries

Following an executive session held during the meeting, Mayor Attwood returned to the assembly and said the closed discussion concerned personnel and salaries and that "everybody was in agreement about the outcome." The mayor thanked the council for their work and said they had represented taxpayers well.

Earlier in the meeting a member reminded the council of provisions of the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act that require public notice if a formal decision and vote occur in executive session; speakers discussed that the council would report back to the public whether any motion had been made and what the vote had been. The transcript indicates the council agreed to notify the public after the executive session whether actions were taken.

Mayor Attwood's statement in the meeting was recorded verbatim in the transcript: "our executive meeting concerning personnel and salaries was a joyful meeting. Everybody was in agreement about the outcome." The transcript does not show a roll‑call vote or the precise personnel or salary actions taken; the mayor said the council would inform the public of any decisions as required.
