Public body approves minutes, votes to enter executive session on proposed business expansion at Divine Street

At a meeting where the date was not specified, the public body approved its minutes and then voted to enter an executive session to discuss a proposed business location and expansion at Divine Street and Capital City Ballpark, according to the clerk's transcript.

The motion to move into closed session cited a statutory reference recorded in the transcript as “34 A 7852221” and described the subject as “proposed location expansion or provision of services encouraging location or expansion of industries or other businesses in the area served by the public body.” The transcript includes no additional public detail about the proposal.

When the clerk asked for a motion to approve the minutes, an unnamed member said, “I move.” The motion was seconded and approved by voice vote; the clerk recorded “aye.”

Mister Brennan (identified in the transcript by name) moved the executive-session motion. In the transcript Brennan is recorded as saying, “I make a motion to enter into executive session for discussion of matters relating to the proposed location expansion or provision of services encouraging location or expansion of industries or other businesses in the area served by the public body pursuant pursuant 34 A 7852221 Divine Street in Capital City Ballpark.” The motion was seconded and approved by voice vote; the chair then said, “We’ll turn the executive session.”

The public record provided in the transcript ends when the body moved into executive session. The transcript does not specify the date of the meeting, the identity of the member who first moved to approve the minutes, the identity of the person who seconded either motion by name, any vote tallies by member, the substantive details of the proposed project, funding, timelines, or any follow-up actions to be taken after the closed session.
