`BRIEF' CLOSED SESSION BECOMES LONG ONE

It was billed as a brief executive session, but Pulaski town officials ended up spending almost two hours behind closed doors Thursday morning.

Pulaski Town Council, meeting as the town's Utilities Committee, went into closed session for legal, personnel and economic development reasons.

Vice Mayor W.H. "Rocky" Schrader and Councilman Roy D'Ardenne emerged about 8:30 a.m., having to leave for work. Asked if anything had been settled on what was being discussed, D'Ardenne said, "No, not really."

The meeting reopened about 15 minutes after that with no action taken.

Mayor Gary Hancock said at least one of the matters discussed would probably be reported at the next Town Council meeting, which is 7 p.m. Tuesday.

Council's Finance Committee has scheduled a meeting for 7 a.m. today.

That meeting is supposed to start with a brief executive session, too.
