Estill council approves 'Employee A' for town administrator after executive session; new administrator was introduced earlier
Summary
After a closed executive session on personnel, the Town of Estill Council voted 4-0 to approve 'Employee A' for the position discussed; earlier in the meeting the clerk introduced Mr. Joshua Richardson as a new Town Administrator but the minutes do not state that the two are the same person.
The Town of Estill Council convened in executive session at 6:52 p.m. on May 14, 2025 to discuss personnel and exited executive session at 7:20 p.m. After returning to open session the council voted 4-0 to approve "Employee A" for the position that had been discussed in executive session.
The motion to approve Employee A was offered by Councilman James Williams and seconded by Councilman Joe N. Hadwin Jr.; the minutes record the vote as 4-0 in favor. The council specifically recorded that no contract or legal matters were part of the executive-session outcome.
Separately, during regular session Clerk Treasurer Edna O'Banner introduced Mr. Joshua Richardson as the town's new Town Administrator and noted a new clerk of court; the meeting minutes do not link Mr. Richardson by name to the later executive-session personnel action. The minutes list the personnel item as "Employee A" in the amended agenda and in executive-session discussion; no additional identifying information or contract terms were recorded.
Because the minutes do not identify Employee A by name or include a contract, the record does not establish whether the approved appointment and the earlier introduction of Mr. Richardson refer to the same person. The minutes state only that the council approved Employee A for the position discussed and that no contract was recorded.
