Discussions by the Mayor and Council or any
body of the Borough concerning appointment, termination, terms and
conditions of employment, performance evaluation, or promotion or
discipline of any current or prospective officer or employee shall

the discussion be held in open session. Such request must be granted.
Prior to the discussion by the Mayor and Council or any body of the
Borough concerning such matters, the Clerk shall notify the affected
person(s), within a reasonable period of time, of the meeting date,
time and place, the matters to be discussed and the person’s

the affected persons does not request that the discussion be in open
session, then the discussion shall be in closed session. If the individual(s)
does not request that the discussion be held in open session, the
Mayor and Council or other body of the Borough may, at its sole discretion,
invite the affected individual(s) to attend the applicable portion
of the closed session.
