The Herald filed an objection via email with Mayor Pro Tem Victor Perot on the wording of the Executive Session item indicating it did not follow the Open Meetings Act guidelines. Perot responded via email that “There is nothing to discuss in executive session. Not sure about the wording but I had no intent to have anything discussed.” He further indicated there would not be an executive session in the meeting on the City Administrator Position.
