PLATTE CITY OFFICIALS MEET IN CLOSED SESSION
Platte City’s Board of Aldermen met Wednesday night, Dec. 27 in closed session with an agenda item of “confidential or privileged communications between the board of aldermen and its attorney to review a personnel related matter with legal counsel.”
After an executive session of an hour and 13 minutes, Mayor Tony Paolillo announced that “there were no reportable votes taken during the closed session tonight.”
It appeared two attorneys were inside the closed session meeting room with the city’s governing body, which includes Paolillo as mayor and aldermen Vickie Atkins, ward one; Dan Laxson, ward one; Steve Hoeger, ward two; Troy Miller, ward two; John Higgins, ward three; and Debbie Kirkpatrick, ward three.
Last week, Hoeger filed to run for mayor against Paolillo in the April election. Filing for city office closed on Tuesday, Dec. 26.
Other positions up for election in April are the alderman seats currently held by Laxson, Miller and Kirkpatrick. All three filed for re-election and will appear unopposed on the April 2 ballot.
No additional closed meetings have been scheduled at this time, city officials said last Wednesday night after the executive session concluded.
This week, the board of aldermen was set to hold a work session the evening of Tuesday, Jan. 2 as The Landmark was heading to press. Items set to be on that agenda, for discussion only, were:
A. Site plan submitted by William Mann on behalf of MannRose LLC for a physician’s office.
B. Future planning priorities.
C. Public input priorities.
