Mobile County Commission recesses to executive session to discuss economic development funding
Summary
The Mobile County Commission recessed on June 23 for an executive session to discuss economic development matters and related funding; the commission certified the session under the Alabama Open Meetings Act and said no votes were expected when it adjourned.
The Mobile County Commission voted to recess the June 23 meeting and move to an executive session to discuss economic development matters and funding, the commission announced before adjourning for the closed session.
A county staff member said the executive session would be conducted under the Alabama Open Meetings Act and that there would be “nothing to vote on when we adjourn,” adding that the session would be brief and end before 11:30 a.m. The staff member asked the commission to “recess this meeting and adjourn from the executive session.”
Commissioners approved the motion to recess and enter executive session; the meeting record shows the calls of “Aye” in response to the motion. The staff member also noted that the county’s indigent care board meeting would follow the executive session.
The transcript includes staff certification language asserting the proper statutory basis for the closed session under the Alabama Open Meetings Act. Commissioners left the public session with the understanding that no formal action would be taken in open session immediately after the executive session.
Because the discussion moved into a closed session, the commission did not record details of the economic development matters or funding sources discussed, and the public record contains only the motion to recess and the certification that the meeting would comply with the Alabama Open Meetings Act.
