AJ City Council meeting behind closed doors Aug. 17

Posted

Discussion and consultation with the city attorney on requirements under Presiding Magistrate Aaron Doug LaSota’s employment agreement relating to judicial officer appointments is a topic on the Apache Junction City Council’s Aug. 17 closed-door executive session.

The City Council is to meet in executive session, which is not open to the public, at 6 p.m. Tuesday in the City Council Conference Room, 300 E. Superstition Blvd.

LaSota was hired in a 6-1 vote July 6 by the City Council. He has a salary of $125,000 a year, according to the contract.

State law allows the meetings per Arizona Revised Statutes 38-431.03, which states, in part, that upon a public majority vote of the members constituting a quorum, a public body may hold an executive session. It goes on to list seven subsections detailing the types of meetings that may be held, according to azleg.gov.
