Maysville board votes to enter closed session to discuss personnel and possible litigation
Summary
At a Feb. 6 special meeting, the Maysville Board of Commissioners voted unanimously to go into closed session under KRS 61.810(1)(f) and (c) to consider personnel matters that could lead to appointment, discipline or dismissal of an employee and to discuss proposed or pending litigation.
The Maysville Board of Commissioners voted unanimously on Feb. 6 to enter a closed session under Kentucky Revised Statutes KRS 61.810(1)(f) and (c) to discuss personnel matters and potential or pending litigation, the board’s presiding official announced at the start of a special meeting.
"Closed session pursuant to KRS 61.810(1)(f) discussion, which might lead to the appointment, discipline, or dismissal of an individual employee. And (c), discussions of proposed or pending litigation against or on behalf of the public agency," the presiding official said when introducing the motion to move into closed session. A board member moved the motion and another seconded it; a roll call vote followed and the motion carried.
The clerk called the roll for the closed-session motion. Commissioners who were asked by name and recorded as voting in the affirmative were: Commissioner Boone, Commissioner Brammer, Commissioner Cartmell, Commissioner McKay and Mayor Cottrell. The transcript records each of those officials answering "yes" when called.
Board members discussed procedural details about returning after the closed session; the special meeting record indicates a motion was made regarding reconvening after the closed session and was seconded. After that exchange, the board moved to adjourn: the clerk again called the roll, the same named officials were recorded as voting in the affirmative, and the meeting concluded.
The meeting opened with an invocation offered by a reverend and a formal roll call of commissioners and senior staff, including the city manager, city attorney and HR director, who were listed during the roll call. The board did not provide public details of the closed-session discussions in the transcript.
The board did not announce any public decisions or actions arising from the closed session in the public record captured in the transcript. No dates for follow-up public meetings or actions were specified on the record provided.
