Clayton Town Council moved into closed session to discuss land acquisition and later amended that closed-session motion to include an economic-development matter. A speaker requested adding a closed session item for land acquisition during agenda adjustments; the mayor then entertained a motion to adopt the agenda with that change. Later in the meeting a motion to go into closed session was made and approved; the mayor asked those not part of the closed session to clear the room.
Nut graph: The council voted to meet privately under the closed-session provisions cited on the agenda to discuss land acquisition and, by amendment, an economic-development matter. The meeting record shows motions and votes to enter closed session but no public discussion of the content that was considered in private.
At the end of the meeting, Council Member Miss Archer moved to amend the earlier closed-session motion to explicitly include an economic-development matter; the amendment passed and the council proceeded to closed session. The mayor announced the motion carried and asked attendees to leave the chamber.
Discussion: The transcript records the motions, seconds and the mayor's call for the ayes, but it does not disclose any substance discussed or any votes taken in the closed session. There was no further public action recorded after the closed-session motion other than adjournment.
Ending: The council adjourned after the closed session and no public details were provided about the land-acquisition or economic-development matters discussed in private.
