Commissioners approve routine items and move into executive session on personnel matters

Butler County commissioners conducted routine business at the start and end of their April 12 meeting. The board approved a motion to excuse Commissioner Carpenter from the meeting, approved the minutes from April 5, accepted finance and department resolutions presented by staff, and approved the weekly resolutions for officeholders and agencies.

At the close of the open session, the board voted to enter executive session to discuss personnel matters, specifying appointment, dismissal, discipline, promotion, demotion, compensation of public employees or investigation of claims against public employees or officials. The chair said there would be no business after the executive session. Recorded audio indicates the present commissioners voted affirmatively on the motions taken in open session.
