Summary
After an executive session to discuss acquisition of property, the council approved purchase contracts for five parcels by unanimous vote at the July 8 meeting; staff said no formal action was taken during the closed session itself.
The Villa Rica City Council on July 8 entered executive session to discuss acquisition of real estate and, after returning to open session, approved purchase contracts for five parcels by unanimous recorded vote.
City Attorney Kevin Drummond told the public that council had discussed purchase of real estate in executive session and that no formal action was taken during the closed meeting. Following return to open session, a council member moved to approve purchase contracts for parcels identified in the record by parcel numbers V050160004, V050150121, V050150044, V050150059 and V050150046.
A second was recorded and the council voted; the minutes record the motion carried unanimously among members present. The mayor confirmed the vote and the meeting minutes state the purchases are approved. The recorded motion includes parcel identifiers as read into the public record; the council did not discuss purchase prices or other contract provisions during the open‑session motion.
Staff indicated follow‑up steps would include completing the purchase transactions and returning to council with any necessary budget or closing authorizations in public session.
