Trustees convene executive session under Ohio statute to discuss employment
Summary
At a July 18 special meeting, Brimfield Township trustees voted unanimously to enter an executive session under Ohio Revised Code Section 121.22(G) to consider employment matters; the board returned to open session about an hour later.
Trustee Nicholas Coia called the Brimfield Township Board of Trustees special meeting to order at 8:00 AM on July 18, 2026. At 8:01 AM Trustee Kevin Scott moved "MOTION #2026-251 FOR EXECUTIVE SESSION" under Ohio Revised Code Section 121.22(G) to consider employment of a public employee or official; Trustee Sue Fields seconded. The motion passed on a roll call vote with Trustees Nicholas Coia, Kevin Scott and Sue Fields recorded as voting yes.
The motion text in the minutes explicitly lists employment as the purpose allowed under division (G)(1) of the statute. The minutes record the board returned from executive session at 9:05 AM. The public minutes do not record any substantive public action taken in the executive session; the entry is recorded as a confidential proceeding consistent with the statutory exception for personnel matters.
No additional public direction, appointment, dismissal, or compensation change is listed in the minutes. The record does not identify the employee or officer considered, consistent with the statutory procedure that permits confidentiality when personnel matters are discussed in executive session.
The next public action recorded in the minutes is the adjournment motion later in the day. The minutes identify the meeting venue as the Brimfield Townhall and list Fiscal Officer Jasmine Golden as absent from the special meeting.
