Richmond council holds closed session on personnel under Missouri statute; minutes record no action
Summary
The City Council entered closed session under RSMo §610.021(3) to discuss personnel and reconvened 14 minutes later; the minutes state no actions were taken while in closed session.
The Richmond City Council adjourned into a closed session at 6:40 p.m. on Feb. 10 to discuss personnel matters pursuant to Section 610.021(3) of the Revised Statutes of Missouri. The motion to enter closed session was made by Councilor Deanna Guy and seconded by Councilor Rob Brash; the roll call vote to enter closed session was recorded as unanimous (6-0).
The council returned to open session at 6:54 p.m.; Councilor Guy moved and Councilor Brash seconded the motion to return to open session. The minutes state that no actions were taken during the closed session. The minutes identify the statutory authority for the closed session as RSMo §610.021(3), which pertains to hiring, firing, disciplining or promoting particular employees when personal information is discussed or recorded.
The minutes contain a minor internal inconsistency: Barb Hardwick is recorded as absent at roll call but is named in the minutes as the seconder of the final adjournment motion later in SEG 002. That apparent transcription artifact is not used as substantive record in this article; the vote tallies and timing are reported as recorded.
