Walworth Town Board meets in special session and votes to go into executive session on personnel matter

The Walworth Town Board met in a special session July 10, 2026, at Walworth Town Hall. Supervisor Laura Elsbree called the meeting to order at 6:30 PM and led the Pledge of Allegiance; the board recorded no members of the public in attendance.

Councilman Alex Kelly moved that the board enter executive session to discuss "medical, financial, credit, or employment history of a particular person/corp, or matters leading to said dismissal, removal, promotion, appointment, employment, discipline, demotion, or suspension." Councilman Craig Jeffers seconded the motion. A roll-call vote recorded Jeffers, Daniel Botsford, Kelly and Supervisor Elsbree as voting Aye and the motion carried. The meeting minutes record the time of entry into executive session as 2:31 PM.

The board later reconvened the public meeting; the minutes record Supervisor Elsbree reconvening the meeting at 3:29 PM with a roll-call vote again recorded as Aye for Jeffers, Botsford, Kelly and Elsbree. The board then voted to adjourn on a motion by Councilman Craig Jeffers, seconded by Councilman Alex Kelly; the minutes record the meeting adjourned at 3:30 PM. The minutes were submitted by Town Clerk Nadine Seppeler.

The motion to enter executive session described the topic in general terms permitted by New York open-meetings practice (personnel, medical or financial information regarding a particular person or entity), but the public minutes do not disclose any details of what was discussed or any formal action taken in closed session. The transcript's timestamps (6:30 PM start, 2:31 PM executive-session entry, 3:29 PM reconvene, 3:30 PM adjourn) appear inconsistent; the minutes are presented here verbatim and the board or clerk would need to be consulted for definitive timing or any public follow-up.
