Delaware County approves two motions to enter executive session on personnel and litigation

Delaware County officials approved two motions to adjourn into executive session on matters involving employment and litigation.

An unidentified meeting official moved to adjourn into executive session and another seconded the motion; the chair called for a vote on Motion 25‑940. During the roll call, individuals identified in the record as Merrill, Benton and Missus Lewis each responded, "Aye," approving the motion.

Shortly afterward, Resolution 25‑941 was read aloud: "In the matter of adjourning into executive session for consideration of employment of a public employer or public official and for pending or imminent litigation." That resolution was moved and seconded; a subsequent roll-call vote again showed Merrill, Missus Lewis and Benton voting "Aye," approving Resolution 25‑941.

After the votes, the presiding official announced the meeting would recess into two executive sessions to address the matters described in the motions. The record does not include names of the motion mover or seconder nor additional discussion specifics about the personnel matter or litigation.

The meeting’s actions are recorded as Motion 25‑940 (adjourn to executive session) and Resolution 25‑941 (adjourn to executive session for consideration of employment matters and pending or imminent litigation).
