Richland board holds executive session to interview Water Clerk candidates; no appointment made
Summary
At a May 6 special meeting the Town Board entered executive session to interview candidates for the Water Clerk position, interviewed two candidates (one no‑show), and reconvened without making an appointment.
The Town of Richland Board entered an executive session at 9:40 a.m. on May 6, 2026 to interview potential candidates for the position of Water Clerk. Councilwoman Sue Haynes moved to go into executive session and Supervisor Robert North seconded the motion; the minutes record that the motion passed by roll call with all present voting "AYE."
According to the minutes, the board interviewed two candidates; one candidate did not appear for the scheduled interview. The board returned to regular session at 11:07 a.m. and "No decision was made as a result of the Executive Session." The meeting minutes were recorded by Town Clerk Millie Newcomb. The minutes do not record candidate names, application details, or any vote to appoint or to direct staff to begin hiring paperwork.
The executive session was limited to candidate interviews for a municipal clerical post; because interviews occurred in executive session the minutes contain only the board's procedural actions and the outcome (no appointment). Any future appointment or personnel action would need to be recorded in open-session minutes or a separate public notice.
