BRENHAM CITY COUNCIL HOLDING EXECUTIVE SESSION MEETING
The Brenham City Council will be discussing a pair of items in executive session at their next meeting on Tuesday.
One of the items is to discuss the process for the annual evaluation of the City Manager, which is scheduled to occur during their January 19th meeting.
This will be the first evaluation of current Brenham City Manager Carolyn Miller since she was chosen for the job unanimously by the council on January 6, 2022.
She has been with the City of Brenham since 2005, became Assistant City Manager in 2015, and was named interim City Manager in September 23, 2021 after the previous City Manager James Fisher’s contract was terminated.
In the other executive session item, the City Council is scheduled to consult with City Attorney Cary Bovey regarding their ongoing litigation in the 21st District Court with Aviators Plus LLC.
They will then convene in open session to discuss the legal matter and associated issues.
Council members are then going to vote on authorizing the Mayor or the City Manager to executed any necessary documentation.
The Brenham City Council meets Tuesday at 11am in their chambers on the second floor of the Brenham City Hall.
Executive sessions are meant for limited participants and highly confidential matters. Quite a bit of repercussions should a member divulge information from executive sessions to the public. With that being said, those serving on governing bodies should use executive session judiciously and wisely. It should never give the appearance of doing something behind the backs of the constituents or the members.
Are the secret /executive/behind closed doors/ discussions ever made public ?
If not, why ? Not much transparency from this taxpayers view.
You only get informed AFTER they’ve signed the dotted line and there’s no recourse. That’s the way it’s done here. Especially anything to do with the city.
