Councilmember Tillman asks Clayton council to hire independent reviewer for staff turnover, requests governance training

During the Oct. 1 meeting, Councilmember Holly Tillman asked the council to place an item on a future agenda to consider hiring an independent third party to investigate recent staff turnover and to schedule governance training for the council.

Tillman framed the request as a need for independent review and training; the minutes record the request but do not show a motion or vote to initiate such a review at this meeting. The council did not record a formal decision on the request during the Oct. 1 meeting; any next steps will depend on whether the council votes to formally agendize the item at a future meeting.

The minutes do not specify scope, timeline, or vendor for an independent review, nor do they specify which governance training provider would be used. Those details are not specified in the record and would need to be provided if the council directs staff to pursue the item.
