The Tompkins County Legislature voted 12-0 on April 29 to enter an executive session to discuss personnel matters concerning particular persons within county government, the chair announced at the start of the special meeting.
The chair opened the meeting and stated, “This is a special meeting of the Tompkins County legislature on 04/29/2021.” The chair then sought a motion to go into closed session; the motion was recorded as "moved by Mike Lane, seconded by Deborah Dawson." The clerk conducted a roll-call vote and reported "12 yes, 0 no." The chair said, "It's not our intention to take any action when we're in executive session," and that the body would most likely adjourn after returning from the closed session.
The motion to enter executive session was identified on the record for the purpose of discussing personnel matters. No formal action on personnel was announced before the session closed; the transcript ends with the body entering executive session and an expectation of adjournment afterward.
