Walton council holds special meeting and moves into closed session to discuss business proposal
Summary
At a special Walton City Council meeting Aug. 5, council members moved into an executive session under KRS 61.810(g) to discuss a business proposal; the minutes list agenda items (food truck, City Administrator position/pay plan, Board of Adjustments reappointment) but record no decisions on them.
Walton — The Walton Common Council met in a special caucus on Aug. 5, 2025, and moved into an executive (closed) session to discuss a proposal with representatives of a business, according to the meeting minutes. The session began at 6:30 p.m. at City Hall, 40 N. Main St., and adjourned at 8:20 p.m.
The minutes list Mayor Terri Courtney and council members Dan Martin, Rose Beach, Caleb Flege and Amy Long as present. The invocation was led by Council Member Amy Long and the Pledge of Allegiance by Mayor Terri Courtney. The roll-call line in the minutes contains checkmarks and blanks (Dan Martin ✓, Caleb Flege X, Amy Long ✓, Sherry Gaskill blank, Rose Beach ✓, Matt Brown blank); the document does not reconcile that notation with the earlier line listing who was present.
The published agenda included three substantive items: a food truck discussion; a City Administrator position description and pay plan; and a four-year term renewal for Board of Adjustments member David Hincks. The minutes record those items on the agenda but do not include discussion text or recorded outcomes for them.
At 7:56 p.m., Council Member Caleb Flege moved to go into executive session; Council Member Rose Beach seconded the motion. The minutes show at least two council members (Dan Martin and Caleb Flege) voting “yes” on the roll call for entry, but the roll-call list for that motion is truncated in the transcript and does not show a complete roll-call record for the entry motion. The minutes cite KRS 61.810(g) as the statutory basis for the closed session, indicating the subject was discussions with representatives of a business entity where open discussion could jeopardize siting, retention, expansion, or upgrading of the business; the minutes also note representatives of the business and the City Clerk were requested to attend.
At 8:17 p.m., Council Member Amy Long moved to exit executive session; Rose Beach seconded. The minutes record roll-call votes of “yes” for Dan Martin, Caleb Flege, Rose Beach and Amy Long. At 8:20 p.m. Amy Long moved to adjourn; Rose Beach seconded, and the same four members voted “yes.” The minutes conclude with signatures from Mayor Terri Courtney and City Clerk Rebecca McClure.
The minutes do not record any formal votes, motions, or outcomes on the agenda items for the food truck discussion, the City Administrator position/pay plan, or the David Hincks reappointment. The record supplied lists those items but does not specify decisions, votes, or follow-up assignments for them.
