Rolfe council votes 4–1 not to offer applicant a city position after closed session
Summary
After a closed session called under Iowa Code 21.5(1)(i), the Rolfe City Council voted 4–1 to not offer the applicant the job; Councilmember Lana Pratt cast the lone nay. The meeting began at 5:30 p.m. and adjourned at 6:01 p.m.
The Rolfe City Council held a closed session Thursday evening and, upon returning to open meeting, voted 4–1 not to offer an applicant a city position. Councilmembers Aaron Cox and Dan Allen moved to enter closed session at 5:33 p.m. under Iowa Code 21.5(1)(i) with the applicant’s permission; the council left closed session at 5:43 p.m. by motion of Cox/Allen.
After the closed session the council recorded a motion (Cox/Allen) that carried 4–1 to not offer the applicant the job. The clerk’s roll-call record lists Allan Minkler, Aaron Cox, Dan Allen and Rob Jackson as voting aye and Lana Pratt as voting nay. The transcript does not identify the applicant, the job title, or provide additional details about the council’s deliberations in closed session.
The council moved to adjourn at 6:01 p.m.; the clerk’s record shows the adjournment motion (Cox/Allen) carried by all ayes.
Because the meeting record cites Iowa Code 21.5(1)(i) for the closed session, the discussion was conducted under the statutory exception referenced; the transcript supplies no further public details about the reasons for the personnel discussion.
