Corcoran council approves consent agenda, tree giveaway item and enters closed session on Teamsters negotiations
Summary
Council approved the consent agenda (with one item pulled for brief discussion), later approved the pulled tree-giveaway item, and entered a closed session under Minn. Stat. §13D.03, subd. 1(b) to review a labor negotiation proposal with Teamsters Local 320; staff reported direction was given after the closed session.
The Corcoran City Council approved its consent agenda and later approved a pulled item related to an annual tree giveaway funded by a donation, then entered a closed session to review labor-negotiation strategy.
At the meeting outset the council approved the agenda as amended. The council approved consent-agenda items a, b, d–j and l on a voice vote after hearing no requests to pull additional items. Councilmember Jeremy asked to pull item k (the tree-giveaway donation) for brief discussion; staff acknowledged the donation from the Jaycees and said the city does not keep a waiting list for the giveaway but could track demand going forward. The council approved item k after the brief discussion.
Later in the meeting the council voted to move into closed session under Minnesota Statute 13D.03, subdivision 1(b) to discuss and review a labor negotiation proposal with Teamsters Local 320. The motion to close the meeting was seconded and approved by voice vote; the council recessed and later reconvened in open session. The mayor reported the council had adjourned the closed session and that staff had been given direction on the Teamsters Local 320 negotiation.
The meeting concluded with routine staff updates and a motion to adjourn. No final contract terms were disclosed in open session.
