Council agrees to swap agenda items and recess to executive session to discuss city manager position
Summary
The Edwardsville City Council approved amending the agenda to swap items 8 and 9 and moved into a 20-minute executive session under PSA 75-43-19(b)(1) to discuss personnel matters related to the city manager position; no hiring decision was recorded on the open record.
Council members voted to rearrange the agenda and then considered a motion to recess into executive session under PSA 75-43-19(b)(1) to discuss matters related to the city manager position.
A council member moved to swap agenda items 8 and 9; the motion carried. The chair then asked whether the governing body would enter executive session to discuss personnel. A motion was made to recess into executive session for 20 minutes with governing-body members only. The motion was seconded and the clerk was asked to call the roll; members moved into the recess as indicated on the record.
On return to open session the council confirmed they would continue the remaining agenda items and discussed meeting-management improvements (meeting length, consent-agenda use, earlier packet distribution and the possibility of periodic roundtable or work-session updates on goals). No formal hiring action was recorded on the public record during this meeting.
