City Council closes public meeting, votes to enter executive session on attorney–client privilege and administrator update
City Council members voted to close the public portion of their meeting and enter an executive session to discuss attorney–client privileged matters and an administrator update concerning Administrator Shirley, council members said during the meeting. Council member Doctor Vogt certified on the record that the meeting had been published in the newspaper "in accordance with the open public media act and posted as required by law."

The action began with a roll call that recorded Mister Assess, Mister Viera, Mister Dangler and Doctor Vogt as present and Missus Wittes as absent. A motion was made to close the public portion of the meeting and was seconded; council members then voted in favor. The council then moved to adopt a resolution to convene an executive session specifically to discuss attorney–client privilege and an administrator update naming Administrator Shirley; the motion passed by voice vote with those present saying “Aye.”

The public record in the provided transcript contains no further details about the matters discussed in the executive session. The meeting included only procedural motions and the stated grounds for the closed session; no votes or outcomes on substantive underlying issues were recorded in the transcript excerpt provided.
