Golf Manor Village council adds executive session on personnel and litigation; raises website and minutes posting concerns

The Golf Manor Village council amended its July 7 agenda to include an executive session before the executive committee report to discuss personnel matters and a threatened lawsuit against the village.

“We had a threatened lawsuit today, against the village, and I would like to bring all the council members up to date,” the mayor said when proposing the executive session addition.

Council members moved to amend and accept the agenda for an executive session addressing personnel and litigation; the mayor recorded the addition as accepted “without objection.” The transcript does not record a roll-call vote; the agenda change was adopted by unanimous consent.

Later in the meeting, the council considered approval of minutes from the June 9 meeting. A council member moved to approve the minutes, and several members raised concerns that committee reports and a contract for the village app were not visible on the village website or attached to posted minutes. One member asked whether the executive committee report could be posted as an attachment to the minutes, and another said they would investigate the village WordPress site to add links.

Council members agreed to follow up offline on posting attachments and the contract for the village app; the clerk or staff were asked to verify that the June minutes include the contract attachment and to update the website as needed. No formal votes on posting policy or website changes were taken during the meeting.
