Commission convenes closed session on director appointment, votes not to disclose discussions

The Building Inspection Commission convened a closed session on Jan. 7 to consider the public‑employee appointment of the director of the Department of Building Inspection and later voted not to disclose the content of that closed session.

During the public portion the commission moved to convene closed session for item 3B (public employee appointment). The chair conducted a roll‑call vote and the motion to convene closed session carried unanimously; the meeting went into closed session at 8:43 a.m. The meeting host stated there was no public comment on the closed‑session appointment during the public portion.

After completing closed‑session business, the commission reconvened in open session to consider item 3D, whether to disclose any or all discussions held in closed session. The commission made a motion "to reconvene and not disclose," conducted a roll‑call vote, and the motion carried unanimously. The chair announced the motion carried and the meeting proceeded to final adjournment.

Because the item concerned a personnel appointment discussed in closed session, the commission voted not to disclose the substance of those discussions; the transcript records the motions and votes but contains no public details of the appointment itself. The meeting adjourned at 2:02 p.m.
