Summary

Council voted unanimously on Jan. 12 to enter an executive session to consider the appointment and compensation of a public employee, described in the record as the appointment of a new city manager; no appointment name was provided in the public minutes.

Steubenville City Council voted unanimously on Jan. 12 to move into executive session to consider the appointment and employment compensation of a public employee, specifically "the appointment of the new city manager." Council member Walker made the motion, Council member McManamon seconded, and Mayor Ralph Petrella announced the motion carried after a roll call of "All ayes."

The meeting opened at 6:00 p.m. with the Pledge of Allegiance and a roll call that recorded Council members Albaugh, Gorman, Hoover, Mayo, McManamon, Terpenning and Walker as present, along with City Manager Jim Mavromatis and Linda Harris of the Herald Star. The minutes state that council chambers were cleared for the executive session; the public record here does not include the name of any candidate or the outcome of the executive session. Later that evening Council member Hoover moved to adjourn, Council member McManamon seconded, a roll call again recorded "All ayes," and Mayor Petrella declared the meeting adjourned.

The publicly available minutes do not specify a candidate name for the new city manager, the length of any proposed contract, or any compensation figures. No ordinances, resolutions or other formal actions besides the two procedural motions (to enter executive session and to adjourn) are recorded in the minutes.
