Summary

At its Feb. 2 special meeting, the Steubenville City Council voted unanimously to enter executive session to interview six candidates for the city manager position and announced the interview times. No hiring decision was recorded in the public minutes.

The Steubenville City Council voted on Feb. 2 to enter an executive session "to consider the appointment, the employment compensation, of a public employee, specifically the appointment of the new city manager," a motion moved by Mr. Walker and seconded by Ms. Hoover. The motion carried after a roll call that the transcript records as "All ayes." Mayor Ralph Petrella declared the motion carried and cleared the Council Chambers for the private session.

Mr. Walker announced the schedule of interviews the council planned to conduct in the executive session: "Tom Simone at 6:10 p.m.; Tanner Salyers at 6:45 p.m.; Samuel Sulkosky at 7:20 p.m., Haskell Cole Webb at 8:00 p.m., Kyle Tate at 8:35 p.m., Samuel Richardson at 9:00 p.m.," according to the public minutes. The transcript does not record any public discussion of candidates' qualifications or any public vote to appoint a finalist; those matters were addressed in the closed executive session and are not included in the public record.
