Macon-Bibb County Committee of the Whole approves Feb. 11 minutes, moves into executive session

The Macon-Bibb County Committee of the Whole on Tuesday, May (date not specified), shortly after 9 a.m., approved the minutes from its Feb. 11, 2025 meeting and voted to go into executive session to consult with county legal counsel about pending or potential litigation, settlement claims, administrative proceedings and real estate transactions.

The actions were procedural and taken by voice vote. Commissioner Wynne moved to approve the Feb. 11, 2025, minutes; Commissioner Bridal seconded the motion, and the presiding officer said the motion carried after a voice vote. Later the committee voted to enter executive session on a motion by Commissioner Stewart, seconded by Commissioner Bailey; that motion also carried on a voice vote.

Committee members and staff said the executive session would be lengthy and that, following it, members willing and able would conduct scheduled site visits. The meeting record on the public portion did not disclose details of the matters to be discussed in executive session beyond the general categories listed by the presiding officer (pending or potential litigation, settlement claims, administrative proceedings, and real estate transactions), and no additional public action on those matters was taken on the record.

No roll-call vote totals or individual recorded votes were provided in the public portion of the transcript; the presiding officer reported the voice votes as "aye" and announced the motions carried.

The committee indicated it had little other business on the public agenda for the day and moved promptly to the executive session and subsequent site visits.
