Council enters executive session to discuss security measures and preliminary negotiations
Summary
The Tuscaloosa City Council voted to enter an executive session after the city attorney certified the subjects to be discussed: security plans and preliminary negotiations in which disclosure could harm competitive positions. The motion was moved and seconded and the vote was recorded as unanimous in the transcript.
The Tuscaloosa City Council voted to go into executive session after the city attorney read a certification describing the authorized grounds.
The city attorney said the session would cover “security plans, procedures, assessments, measures, or systems, or the security or safety of person structures, facilities, or other infrastructures, including without limitation information concerning critical infrastructure, the public disclosure of which could reasonably be expected to be detrimental to public safety or welfare,” as well as “preliminary negotiations involving matters of trade or commerce in which the governmental body is in competition with private individuals or entities or other governmental bodies.” The attorney said disclosure outside the executive session could have a detrimental effect on parties’ competitive positions.
A motion to go into executive session was moved and seconded; the transcript records the roll call as “All in favor, say aye. Aye.” No opposing votes were recorded in the provided excerpt. The transcript does not include the text of what was discussed inside the executive session or any subsequent public action taken after the session.
