City Council approves appointed employees' contracts after closed session
Summary
After a closed session on appointed-employee evaluations and contract negotiations, the City of Deming City Council voted in open session to accept appointed employees' contracts; the motion passed on a recorded roll-call vote with four AYE votes.
The City of Deming City Council voted in open session June 16 to accept appointed employees’ contracts after holding a closed session on personnel evaluations and contract negotiations pursuant to NMSA 1978, 10-15-1(H)(2).
Councilor Julian Monjaras moved to accept the appointed employees’ contracts as presented; Councilor Stephen Westenhofer seconded. A roll-call vote recorded Mayor Pro Tem Laura Parra AYE, Councilor Catherine Gutierrez AYE, Councilor Stephen Westenhofer AYE and Councilor Julian Monjaras AYE, approving the motion. Mayor Michele C. Shillito stated that "only those items listed on the agenda were discussed and that no motions were made during closed session." Councilor Gutierrez thanked the mayor and council for listening to her concerns.
The closed session had been authorized earlier in the meeting under the statutory exception for limited personnel matters. The council did not record any motions during the closed session itself and took formal action only after returning to open session. The minutes do not specify the number of contracts or identify the appointees; those details were listed in materials provided to the council but are not included in the public meeting transcript.
The council adjourned at 10:29 a.m.
