Regular Council Meeting July 28, 2014 Page 12 that it needed to be within the week. Council Member Pickle said that was Council Member Plata's motion. Council Member Hashmi asked Council Member Lancaster to repeat her motion. Council Member Lancaster said that she be provided with the preliminary reports within the week, that if they run it by the PEDC Board, but then said she did not understand that they were going to meet in a week so she questioned how that would happen. Council Member Hashmi asked Council Member Lancaster if she got the final report and did not get the preliminary report to a little later would that be okay with her. She said she did not mind if she got it a little later. Council Member Hashmi asked if it was two weeks would that matter and Council Member Lancaster said, that's okay. Council Member Lancaster qualified her motion and said she was including PEDC and Defenbaugh and she wanted it in two weeks. Mayor Frierson said he had a motion and asked for a second. Council Member Hashmi seconded the motion. Motion carried, 7 ayes — 0 nays. Council Member Lancaster said in the future they need to clarify if they were going to agree with the Texas Municipal League or were they going to create something for themselves and if so, she wanted to know what it was. 21. Convene into Executive Session pursuant to Section 551.074 of the Texas Government Code (1) to deliberate the appointment, employment, evaluation, reassignment, duties, discipline, or dismissal of a public officer or employee; or (2) to hear a complaint or charge against an officer or employee, as follows: conduct performance review of the city attorney. Mayor Frierson convened City Council into executive session at 7:13 p.m. 22. Reconvene into Open Session and possibly take action on those matters discussed in Executive Session. Mayor Frierson convened City Council into open session at 7:47 p.m. Mayor Frierson said the discussion revolved around the performance evaluation of the city attorney. He also said they had not done a performance evaluation since June of last year as an official council. Council Member Hashmi said he was not very happy with the performance of the city attorney during the last few months. He said he had multiple concerns which included not representing the Council as a whole and not providing records to Council Members. A Motion that the services of the city attorney be terminated was made by Council Member Hashmi and seconded by Council Member Lancaster. Motion failed, 3 ayes — 4 nays, with Mayor Frierson, Council Member Grossnickle, Council Member Plata, and Council Member Pickle casting the dissenting votes. Mr. McIlyar said he had not received a performance evaluation for the last year, so he thought it was a highly unusual motion to make to terminate the services of the city attorney. 23. Consider and approve future events for City Council and /or City Staff pursuant to Resolution No. 2004 -081. Nothing was referenced.
