Levitt council moves to executive session to discuss potential property sale and bidding
Summary
Council voted to adjourn into executive session under Ohio law to discuss acquisition or sale of public property and matters involving competitive bidding; no substantive details were disclosed in open session.
The Levitt City Council on Aug. 26 voted to adjourn into executive session to discuss matters related to the acquisition or sale of public property and competitive bidding, citing the statutory executive-session exception. The motion cited Ohio Revised Code 121.22(G)(2) as the basis for closing the meeting to the public.
Council members moved and seconded the motion; the roll call vote to enter executive session carried with affirmations from members present. The council did not disclose details about the property, parties involved, or any timelines in open session.
Under the cited statute, councils may enter executive session to consider the sale or purchase of property when public discussion would create a disadvantage in bargaining or bidding. Council members and staff said only that premature disclosure could be unfair; no additional details were provided in the public portion of the meeting.
The council indicated the executive session would occur during the same meeting; no public action resulting from the executive session was announced in the transcript of the Aug. 26 meeting.
