Baxter Springs council approves raises, hires and holds executive sessions with no action
Summary
Council approved pay increases for water staff, hired a part-time officer at $17/hour, promoted a worker with a $1/hour raise, and held two executive sessions to discuss non-elected personnel; no action was reported following the closed sessions.
The council approved personnel moves at the Jan. 14 meeting, including a $0.50-per-hour raise for Brent Pillar, Dawson Graves and Frank Simons for passing a water test. The council also approved hiring Alexis Scofield as a part-time police officer at $17.00 per hour and moved Jayson Breuil to an operator position with a $1.00-per-hour raise. These motions were recorded as passing unanimously.
Later in the meeting the council entered executive session twice to discuss personnel matters of non-elected personnel for the purpose of preserving attorney-client privilege. The minutes record the executive sessions, list attendees for privilege purposes, and explicitly state on reconvening: "We are back in session" and "No Action Taken." The minutes show the council extended the executive session once and included additional attendees; no formal actions were recorded as a result of the closed sessions.
