Council recesses to executive session to review city administrator applicants; returns with no action
Summary
The council repeatedly recessed into executive session to review and discuss applicants for the city administrator position under statutory personnel provisions; the council returned to open session stating no action or decisions were taken during executive session.
Council members moved to recess into executive session multiple times to review applications for the city administrator position and to discuss matters related to non-elected personnel. The motions referenced statutory authority (as stated in the motion) to protect applicants' privacy while the council reviewed candidates. The council recessed for the stated periods and later returned to open session, with the mayor announcing that no decisions or formal action were taken while in executive session.
The motions described the executive sessions as including the mayor, council, city attorney and interim city administrator and cited statutory justification in the motion language as the basis for holding the closed sessions. Council members then returned the meeting to open session and recorded that no decisions were made in executive session.
