Siloam Springs board enters executive session on employee matter, directs staff to send candidate adjustments to GPS

The Siloam Springs City Board of Directors held a special called meeting and voted to enter an executive session to consider the employment of an employee.

Mayor Allen called the meeting to order and took roll call; Directors Wiles, Blair, Rizzler, Carroll and Burns each responded 'here,' and Mayor Allen confirmed his presence. Director Hunt was named during roll call but the transcript does not record a verbal response.

Mayor Allen asked for a motion "to go into executive session." A motion and a second were made, and following a roll call vote in which Directors Blair, Rizzler, Carroll, Burns, Allen and Wiles voted yes, the board recessed into executive session. The chair said, "Motion passed. We will now adjourn into executive session and will return." The stated subject for the closed session was "considering the employment of an employee."

After the executive session, the board resumed public proceedings. A motion was made and seconded to send the adjustments discussed in the closed session to GPS for the candidate to review. The board again conducted a roll call; the recorded votes were yes from Directors Blair, Rizzler, Carroll, Burns, Allen and Wiles, and the motion passed.

The Board then moved to adjourn. The motion carried on a voice vote after members responded in the affirmative, and the chair declared the meeting adjourned.

No ordinances, resolutions, or public hearings were conducted during the session recorded in the transcript. The transcript does not identify the mover or seconder by name for the post-executive-session motion or the adjournment motion, and it records no details about the specific adjustments sent to GPS.
