SANDY — During the regular business portion of the meeting the Sandy City Council approved the consent calendar, authorizing the draft meeting minutes for Sept. 16 and Sept. 30, and later voted to convene a closed session to discuss personnel, imminent litigation and the possible purchase/exchange/lease of City Hall office space.
Approval of minutes (consent calendar)
The council approved two items on the consent calendar — draft minutes for the Sept. 16 and Sept. 30 meetings — by voice vote after a motion to approve was made and seconded. The motion carried on a voice vote; the meeting record shows the chair asked for aye/oppose and the consent calendar was approved.
Motion text (as recorded): Approval of the Sept. 30 and Sept. 16 draft meeting minutes.
Mover/second: Not specified in the meeting transcript.
Outcome: Approved (voice vote recorded as “Aye”).
Enter closed session (roll call)
Later the council moved to convene a closed session “to discuss the character, professional competence, or mental or physical health of an individual, as well as pending and reasonably imminent litigation, as well as the purchase, exchange, or lease of real property,” with staff identified to attend. A roll call was conducted and the clerk recorded yes votes for the council members named in roll call.
Motion text (as read aloud): Move into closed session to discuss the character, professional competence, or mental or physical health of an individual; pending or imminent litigation; and the purchase, exchange, or lease of real property (City Hall council office area).
Roll call results (as read on the record):
- Council member de Keiser — Yes
- Council member Haussmann — Yes
- Council member D'Souza — Yes
- Council member Straub — Yes
- Council member Mika — Yes
- Council member Robinson — Yes
Outcome: Motion carried by roll call (recorded yes votes listed above).
Notes: The transcript includes a request to include specified staff members in the closed session (City Attorney Lynn Pace, Real Property Manager Dan Nelson, Police and Fire chiefs, and others listed). The transcript does not record a public tally that shows individual no or abstain votes for these two agenda items.
Ending
Both actions were procedural: the consent calendar approval cleared routine business, and the closed session was called under permitted exceptions to open-meeting rules. The minutes and any closed-session record required by law will be handled per state open‑meetings rules.
