Committee moves to executive session on city manager's performance evaluation

The personnel committee moved to discuss agenda item 20261586, the city manager's performance evaluation, and decided to go into executive session for members to confer before the item goes to full council. Chair introduced the item and asked whether anyone thought an executive session was needed. After a first and second, Chair called for the vote and said, "That says unanimously, we are gonna go into executive session."

City Manager Brent Manuel apologized to the committee for missing the evaluation deadline, saying the notice had been buried in his email and that he regretted the scheduling issue. He also acknowledged the need to reschedule and expressed appreciation for the staff and council. The committee paused briefly to confirm the meeting stream/recording before proceeding into the executive session; neither the mover nor the seconder was specified on the record.
