Judge announces possible closed session under Sec. 551.074 to discuss road and bridge administrator
Summary
The judge said the court may schedule a closed session under Section 551.074 of the Texas Government Code to discuss matters related to the road and bridge administrator, explaining that state law requires specific language to permit confidential conversations with appointed officials.
At the close of the Aug. 20 meeting, the judge announced the court may move a discussion about the road and bridge administrator to a future closed session and cited Section 551.074 of the Texas Government Code as the statutory basis. The judge explained that the local government code requires that language so the court can have confidential conversations with an appointed official and said the court did not intend the notice as an indication of disciplinary action but as the only lawful avenue to discuss personnel matters.
The judge asked staff and members to expect meetings with appointed team members after the budget process is finalized and said the court will post future closed-session notices if needed. No executive session occurred during the Aug. 20 meeting.
