After an executive session at the July 7 meeting to discuss legal and real‑estate matters, the East Point City Council reconvened in open session and approved motions to proceed as discussed in closed session.

The council voted to "proceed as discussed in executive session" with respect to the TA Group (motion passed by voice vote). The council also approved a motion to proceed with settlement‑related steps in the case captioned Lakes v. City of East Point; both actions were adopted by voice vote and no financial details or settlement amounts were disclosed in open session.

Why it matters: Executive sessions are used to discuss confidential legal strategy and real‑estate negotiations; council must vote in public to take actions that flow from closed‑door deliberations. The transcript records the motions and approvals but does not include the legal details discussed in executive session.

Ending: The council moved forward with the approved directions from executive session; particulars were recorded in the executive‑session minutes and any required public disclosures will follow statutory requirements if and when appropriate.
