Council addresses motion to let city administrator hire independent investigator; final tally not recorded
Summary
The council discussed and moved to authorize the city administrator to engage a third-party investigator in reference to a complaint; the motion was seconded, one council member said, "I opposed," and the transcript does not contain a recorded final vote tally.
At its meeting the Lisbon City Council considered a motion to authorize the city administrator to hire an independent, third‑party investigator to handle a complaint.
A council member moved to approve the authorization and the motion was seconded. City Attorney Mark Farman advised there was nothing further to add. When the clerk called for a voice vote, a council member said, "I opposed." The meeting transcript does not record a final roll-call tally or state whether the motion was adopted.
The council did not receive additional legal commentary on the scope of the investigation during the discussion. No timeline or contract details for the proposed investigator were provided in the minutes that accompany the transcript.
Next steps: if council formally approves authorization at a subsequent meeting or by recorded vote, staff said the administrator would proceed to procure the investigator and return contract details for council review.
