Personnel committee enters executive session to discuss employee matters under state law

The Swansea Personnel Committee voted April 20 to enter executive session to consider matters related to appointment, employment, compensation, discipline, performance or dismissal of specific employees and legal counsel under Illinois statute 5 ILCS 120/2(c)(1).

A committee member moved to go into executive session citing 5 ILCS 120/2(c)(1); another member seconded the motion and it was approved by a voice vote. Committee members acknowledged that remote attendees might lose video or audio during the session as staff rebooted equipment.

The executive session was taken in accordance with the cited Illinois statute; the committee recessed and said it would return when the closed session concluded. No details about the subject employee(s) or any decisions made in executive session were discussed on the public record.
