Summary
At the Sept. 9 Twinsburg City Council meeting members voted to enter executive session to discuss confidential information related to an economic development applicant’s marketing plan, business strategy, and possible public infrastructure improvements, citing provisions of the Ohio Revised Code.
Twinsburg City Council voted unanimously on Sept. 9 to enter executive session to consider confidential information related to an economic development applicant, citing statutory exceptions in the Ohio Revised Code.
Council President Post moved to enter executive session “to consider confidential information related to the marketing plan, specific business strategy or personal financial statements of an applicant for economic development assistance,” and to discuss public infrastructure improvements or utility extensions directly related to an economic development project. The motion referenced Chapter 715 and Sections 5709.4 to 5709.43 of the Ohio Revised Code and stated the executive session was necessary to protect the applicant’s interests and the city’s potential investment.
Councilmember Bellen seconded the motion. Shannon (the clerk) called the roll and the recorded votes were unanimous in favor of entering executive session. The transcript indicates the council returned from executive session later in the meeting; no confidential details, decisions or roll-call votes taken in the closed session were disclosed in the public transcript.
The council did not announce any formal action taken in public as a result of that executive session during the Sept. 9 meeting record.
