Okawville personnel committee enters executive session to discuss hiring

The Village of Okawville Personnel Committee convened a special meeting on Aug. 28, 2026, to review applications and voted to enter an executive session to discuss hiring.

“At 4:46 PM, Trustee Cragen made a motion seconded by Trustee Davis to enter into executive session for the purposes of discussing the hiring of personnel and Section 2 (c ) (1),” the committee minutes state. The transcript records the committee entering the executive session and later re-opening the meeting at 5:34 p.m. The minutes do not include a separate roll-call vote for the motion to enter executive session.

The record lists Mayor Jasper and Trustees Cragen, Davis and Heberer as present. The minutes close with a signed entry by Clerk Dawn Moyer: “Respectfully submitted, Dawn Moyer Village Clerk.” The clerk's entry is the only direct sign-off in the document.

The minutes do not disclose any actions or hiring decisions taken during the executive session. They also cite "Section 2 (c ) (1)" as the legal basis for the closed session without naming the statute by title in the text of the minutes.
