An unidentified meeting official opened the Village of Dolton meeting with holiday-season wishes and a request to convene an executive session to discuss an employee matter and legal updates.

The speaker thanked residents for their engagement over "this first 7 months," and praised village employees for their daily labor, saying staff contributions help make the community "a happy village." The transcript uses the name "Dalton" in several places; records and provided spelling normalize the municipality name to Dolton.

The official then asked, "I will ask that we have a motion to go into executive session for employee an employee matter as well as legal updates." The transcript does not record any motion being made, the identity of a mover or seconder, or a vote on the request.

Executive sessions are closed to the public and typically cover personnel and privileged legal matters; the transcript does not provide additional detail about the employee matter or the legal updates mentioned, nor does it record any formal action after the request. The meeting record in this transcript ends immediately after the request for the executive session.
