Surprise Executive Session Monday

A 7 p.m. executive session will precede Monday's 8 p.m. City Council meeting in Municipal Court.

I'm told this has to do with a problem regarding the proposed layoff plan that calls for reduction to part-time employment for certain individuals. Apparently this did not pass muster with the Civil Service Commission. Those affected may be attending the closed session.

Those of us who want to attend the regular meeting may find ourselves in the hallway as we did at another meeting in October for two hours.

The little birdie with gossip in beak also says two prior layoff plans may have been flawed.
(Little birdies are what us old folks used to rely on before Twitter.) The facts remain to be revealed.

The executive session is for real, as per a legal notice in Saturday's Courier News.

  1. Does this mean that people who were laid off should not have been? What is the implication?

  2. To 11:14

    Will have to wait and see but if that is the case then those employees that were laid off will be entitled to any loss of salary and re-instatement to their positions.

    But I thought that the State had to approved the layoff play and bumping rights of all affected employees before the City could impose the layoff.

    Again, just wait and see

  3. That is the Plainfield administration in action. One would think that by the third lay-off in two years both the City Administrator and Personel Director would know what to do. Gee did anyone think that maybe they should be laid-off observing that they (Taylor and Dabney) still do not know how to do their jobs.............. Only in Plainfield could this happen.
