A staff member said at about 5:30 p.m. that the meeting would move into an executive session "in accordance 74" to interview a potential new city manager, then reconvened and took no action, according to the transcript.

The executive session, the transcript shows, was called to allow discussion of the "appointment, employment, performance, evaluation, duties, compensation, discipline, and or dismissal of city manager." "We're not gonna do the pledges today. We are going to move into executive session to, convene in accordance 74 to discuss, interview our city, a new city manager, possibly a new city manager," the staff member said.

After the closed session the meeting reconvened. "So, 05:30. Okay. Back in session. We Reconvene for discussion and possible action concerning the appointment, employment, performance, evaluation duties, compensation, discipline, and or dismissal of city manager, 08/20 '6, and no action taken. Meeting adjourned," the transcript records.

The transcript provided does not identify the speaker by name, does not name any candidate, does not show a motion or vote tally, and does not specify next steps or a date for any follow-up. The meaning of the reference "08/20 '6" in the transcript is not explained.

Because the session was an executive-session personnel matter, the transcript contains only the procedural statements above; no appointment, employment terms or disciplinary actions were recorded as taken during the meeting.
