One of my small towns has hired an Administrator, and she wants to go into Executive Session with them to discuss what priorities they want her to have in her duties.  (Examples:  revise the personnel policy; have PWA clean ditches; etc.)   I say this is not a proper topic for Executive Session.  Which one of us is correct?
Thanks,
Kay Wall

Kay, you are correct.  Discussing the town’s priorities for expenditure of public funds or time of public employees is not a matter for executive session.
