Woodland Township Committee enters executive session on maintenance position; reports no action and adjourns

The Woodland Township Committee met in a workshop on July 24, 2024; Mayor DeGroff called the meeting to order and Clerk Maryalice Brown read the Open Public Meetings Act statement.

Committeeman Herndon moved to approve Resolution 2024-51 to enter an executive session to discuss the "maintenance man #2" position; the motion was seconded by Committeeman Mull and recorded as made in the minutes. The transcript does not include a roll-call vote on the motion to enter the executive session.

When the committee reconvened, Mayor DeGroff moved and Committeeman Herndon seconded to close the executive session and reopen the workshop meeting; the minutes record the votes as DeGroff—yes, Herndon—yes, Mull—yes. The minutes state explicitly that "No action taken at this time" regarding the personnel matter discussed in executive session.

After that entry, Committeeman Herndon moved, seconded by Mayor DeGroff, to adjourn the workshop session at 6:45 p.m.; the minutes show the meeting was adjourned and were signed by Maryalice Brown, RMC, Township Clerk/Administrator. The transcript does not record further discussion, formal disciplinary or hiring actions, or additional votes on the personnel matter.

No public comments, statements of disciplinary or hiring decisions, or timelines for follow-up were recorded in the minutes for the maintenance position. The record on the personnel matter is limited to the motion to enter executive session (Resolution 2024-51), the subsequent notation that no action was taken, and the adjournment of the meeting.
