Officials say land acquisition discussed in executive session; no action taken

Meeting participants said they discussed land acquisition during a closed executive session and took no formal action before adjourning. Mr. Moore, a meeting participant, said, "We discussed land acquisition in executive session." The body then voted to return to open session and later voted to adjourn.

The meeting opened its public record at the end of the session with a motion to come out of executive session. The motion was seconded, and recorded votes on the motion were announced as "yes" by Mr. McCarran, Mr. Lloyd, Ms. Kornbaum and Mr. Riley. After the chair confirmed the body was back in regular session, Mr. Moore stated that the topic discussed in executive session was land acquisition and that "there is no action to be taken today."

With no other business, a member moved to adjourn; the motion was seconded and the presiding officer called the vote. The transcript records affirmative votes on the adjournment by Mr. McCarran (variant spelling appears elsewhere in the transcript), Mr. Lloyd, Ms. Gruenbaum and Mr. Riley. The meeting then adjourned.

This account is limited to what participants placed on the public record: the existence of a closed-session discussion about land acquisition and the explicit statement that no action would be taken at this meeting. The transcript contains inconsistent spellings of several members' names; this article uses the first spelling that appears in the public record and notes inconsistencies in the detailed record.
