Council moves into closed session to deliberate on city manager candidates
Summary
After the finalist interviews, the Alliance City Council voted to enter executive session to deliberate on City Manager candidate interviews and other candidate information, citing the need to prevent needless injury to candidates' reputations; roll-call votes were unanimous.
Following the public interviews, the Council reconvened and moved to a closed session to deliberate on the City Manager candidates. Mayor McGhehey moved to enter executive session at 12:51 p.m.; Councilman Yates seconded the motion. The minutes record Mayor McGhehey saying the closed session was necessary to "prevent needless injury to the reputation of City Manager candidates," and a roll-call vote recorded Hitchcock, Yates, Mashburn, Turman and McGhehey voting aye. The motion carried and the closed session concluded at 2:07 p.m.
The minutes do not disclose the deliberations' content or indicate a formal decision was made in open session. The record lists no appointment or offer at the end of that closed session. The council later returned to closed session again to discuss negotiating an offer of salary and benefits.
