A council member moved the Fort Thomas City Council into executive session citing KRS 61.810(1)(f) to permit discussion or hearings that might lead to the appointment, discipline or dismissal of an individual employee.

The motion was made in open session and received a second; a voice vote followed and the mayor pro tem announced the council was entering executive session. No roll-call vote or record of individual votes was given in the public transcript excerpt.

Why it matters: KRS 61.810(1)(f) allows a public agency to meet in closed session for certain personnel matters. Items discussed in executive session are not part of the public record unless the council later takes formal action in open session.

What was recorded in public: the motion language invoking KRS 61.810(1)(f) was read into the record, a second was given and the council recessed into executive session. The transcript excerpt ends as the meeting moved into the closed session.

Ending: No public decision about personnel was recorded in the excerpt; any actions taken in executive session would be announced publicly only if the council later returns to open session and takes formal action.
