After executive session, council approves hire of city attorney candidates
Summary
Following an executive session to interview candidates, the council voted unanimously to hire "Paul and Lowry" and instructed candidates to submit engagement packets for placement on the next agenda; the clerk will ensure candidate materials appear in the agenda packet and the mayor will execute the agreement.
The Gunter City Council convened an executive session on July 22 under Texas Government Code chapter 551 to interview city attorney candidates and consider an appointment. After returning to open session, a councilor moved to hire the candidate(s) referenced as "Paul and Lowry," and another councilor seconded the motion; the council voted to approve the hire.
"I'll make a motion to hire Paul and Lowry," a committee member said during open session; another committee member seconded the motion and the chair called the vote, which was recorded as unanimous. Councilors and the clerk discussed next steps for formal engagement: candidates are to submit a packet containing qualifications and proposed terms, the clerk will put the materials in the agenda packet for council review, and the mayor will execute the engagement once council approval is complete.
