The closed session covered two topics but no substantive details were disclosed to the public; officials said staff were directed to proceed consistent with the discussion.

“Okay. So we are returning from our closed session discussions on 2 topics, and those topics were discussed in length. And we had directed staff to proceed as, we discussed what we were gonna do to proceed with our our wishes. And if that's the end of business, I'll entertain a motion to adjourn. So moved,” the presiding official said. Another participant seconded the motion and the presiding official called for the voice vote: “All in favor, say aye. Aye. All opposed.” The transcript records no opposing votes.
