The <br />only way it would be a closed session is if they were to evaluate the employee. <br /> <br />Consensus was to discuss the contract further at a future meeting to allow Councilmembers an <br />opportunity to review the contract. <br /> <br />COMMITTEE INPUT <br /> <br />None. <br /> <br />ADJOURNMENT <br /> <br />Motion by Mayor Gamec, seconded by Councilmember Kurak, to adjourn the regular meeting of <br />the Personnel Committee. <br /> <br />The regular meeting of the Persormel Committee adjourned at 6:17 p.m. <br /> <br />Personnel Committee/September 11, 2002 <br /> Page 3 of 4 <br /> <br /> <br />
