Council moves to closed session for collective bargaining negotiations
Summary
At the Aug. 25 meeting the Urbana City Council voted to go into closed session under the Illinois Open Meetings Act to discuss collective bargaining negotiations and later reconvened and adjourned; no substantive details of negotiations were disclosed publicly.
Council member James moved that the City Council go into closed session “per ILCS 120/2(c)(2) for collective bargaining negotiations” at the Aug. 25 meeting. The motion was seconded and the roll call vote was unanimous among members present: Council members Wu, Evans, Colasetti, Wilkin, Quisenberry and Mayor Williams voted yes. The council entered closed session; members later moved to reconvene in open session (motion by Mary Alice, second by James), again approving the motion by roll call. The council announced no further public business remained after the closed session and adjourned. No details about the substance of the collective bargaining negotiations were disclosed in open session; statutory citation on the record matched the closed‑session exemption in the Illinois Open Meetings Act for collective bargaining matters.
