Summary

The council voted to go into closed session to discuss the annual performance evaluation of City Administrator Tara Vosacek, citing prevention of needless injury to an individual's reputation. The council later exited closed session and adjourned; no public action on the evaluation was recorded in open session.

Under unfinished business the Columbus City Council moved on July 20 to go into closed session to discuss the annual performance evaluation of City Administrator Tara Vosacek. The motion (made by the mayor) stated the reason for a closed session was "the prevention of needless injury to the reputation of an individual," and that the mayor and the city attorney would be included in the closed session. The council approved the closed-session motion by voice vote and entered closed session.

After a period in closed session the council voted to exit and then adjourned the meeting. The transcript records the motion to exit closed session and that the meeting was adjourned; no additional public action, decision or vote related to the evaluation was recorded in open session.

Because the discussion occurred in closed session, the transcript provides no further detail about the evaluation's substance or any direction given to staff in closed session.
