Regular Council Meeting April 11, 2016 Page 6 city staff's work. Mr. Smith said Mr. Moore and Mr. Shew did outstanding work. Council Member Clifford wanted to know if they had seen the work that was done on the driveways and curbs and asked them if they were aware it passed inspection. Council Member Clifford said the concrete was completely out of compliance and was crumbling after a few months, which resulted in questioning the integrity of the entire job. Council Member Clifford said it was only when he pointed out it was not done to specifications was it dug up and done correctly. Mr. Wallace said he did not see that, and the remedial work that was done was great. He said the project was functioning as it should and asked that Council review the video. Council Member Pickle said they were never asked to approve funding of anything during the three months when the job was not complete. Council Member Frierson thanked city staff for doing the work the right way the first time and Council Member Clifford said except for the curbs, which were horrible and no comment was ever made about the curbs. He said supposedly the inspector was watching it being done and obviously it was not being done correctly, according to contract specifications. Mayor Hashmi said he wanted to review the report and talk to EST at a later date. 15. 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: city manager. Council Member Pickle asked if they had to go into executive session and Mayor Hashmi said it was a personnel item and he thought they should go into executive session. Council Member Pickle inquired if Mr. Godwin was okay with doing this in open session and Mr. Godwin said he was happy to do whatever the majority of the City Council wanted to do. Mayor Hashmi said he would take a vote of the Council. A Motion to remain in open session was made by Council Member Pickle and motion failed for lack of a second. Mayor Hashmi convened City Council into executive session at 6:49 p.m. 16. Reconvene into Open Session and possibly take action on those matters discussed in Executive Session. Mayor Hashmi reconvened City Council into open session at 7:50 p.m. and said they discussed the performance of the city manager. He said some Council Members had some reservations and some Council Members had no comments. Mayor Hashmi said the reservations were about being pro- active on certain jobs particularly the bond project. He said they also discussed supervision of the bond project, which they would discuss in the next item. 17. Discuss and act on creation of a new supervisor position or project manager to oversee the 2013 water and sewer bond projects. Mayor Hashmi said he placed this item on the agenda because he wanted the city manager's opinion. He said Council had been hearing from people about the job that was done
