Council approves personnel actions including terminations and a salary for a public works position
Summary
Following an executive session, Okolona’s council approved termination motions for employees described as no-call/no-show and set a salary recommendation for a public-works position (Tommy Webster) at $25,000 per year with a two-weeks-on/two-weeks-off schedule.
After an executive session the Okolona City Council returned to open session and recorded several personnel actions.
Committee member (S2) moved to terminate employees cited for no-call/no-show attendance; the motion was seconded and the council voted in favor. The transcript records the council’s action as an approved motion following the executive session.
Separately, Committee member (S6) recommended setting Tommy Webster’s salary at $25,000 per year (no insurance) with a two-weeks-on/two-weeks-off work rotation; the motion was seconded and approved.
Why it matters: Personnel decisions change staffing and payroll commitments and may affect departmental operations. The council noted no official action was taken during executive session but proceeded with formal motions in open session.
Next steps: Finance and human-resources staff were directed to implement the approved terminations and salary changes through official personnel records and payroll adjustments. No appeal or grievance procedures were recorded in the transcript.
