The Lewisburg City Council held a special called meeting on August 22, 2025, to discuss the appointment of an interim city manager and the hiring of a law firm. The meeting focused on the procedural requirements for these actions, emphasizing the need for a special call meeting to address both issues.

The council members deliberated on whether a special meeting was necessary to hire a law firm for professional services. It was determined that a separate meeting would be required to approve the contract with the law firm. The discussion included the possibility of appointing an interim city manager during the same meeting where the law firm would be hired. Council members expressed that it would be feasible to include both items on the agenda, allowing for a streamlined process.

The consensus was that the special call meeting could handle the voting for both the law firm and the interim city manager, although this would not occur during the current meeting. The council acknowledged the importance of scheduling this additional meeting to ensure that both appointments could be made efficiently.

In conclusion, the meeting underscored the procedural steps necessary for the city to move forward with hiring a law firm and appointing an interim city manager, with plans for a follow-up special call meeting to finalize these decisions.
