The Harrah City Council entered a joint executive session with the Harrah Public Works Authority Aug. 7 under the Oklahoma Open Meetings Act provision 25 O.S. Sec. 307(B)(3) to discuss the purchase or appraisal of real property. The motion to enter the executive session was made by Councilor Tim Rudek and seconded by Councilor Jennifer McCammond; the motion passed unanimously and the record shows the council entered executive session at 7:25 p.m. and returned to open session at 7:50 p.m.
After returning to open session, the council unanimously approved a motion directing the City Manager to proceed with discussion to obtain land and easements as had been discussed in executive session. The motion was recorded as made by Tim Rudek and seconded by Jennifer McCammond; the vote was 5-0 in favor.
The minutes do not disclose specific parcels, sellers, price ranges, or negotiation terms, consistent with statutory executive-session confidentiality for property negotiations.
