The Frankfort City Commission disputes Commissioner Katrisha Waldridge's allegation of an improper closed session discussion of matters that might lead to dismissal of city manager, arguing that the exception extends to "procedural details related to the [employee's] dismissal."
The cited exception, like all others, must be strictly construed. It does not extend to post dismissal "procedural details" that do not impact the employee's reputational interests.

"A public agency's authority to go into a closed session relative to personnel matters is severely restricted. Under the personnel exception, a public agency may enter closed session only for 'discussions or hearings which might lead to the appointment, discipline, or dismissal of an individual employee, member, or student.' KRS 61.810(1)(f). These three topics are the only personnel matters a public agency may discuss in closed session. Discussions of any other matters are expressly precluded."
