Presiding official announced the Federal Way City Council special meeting would recess into an executive session to discuss property acquisition under RCW 42.30.110(1)(b). “We will recess to executive session … and we'll reconvene at 6:30,” the presiding official said, estimating the session would last approximately 30 minutes.
The announcement opened the special meeting and provided only the statutory authority and the expected timing. RCW 42.30.110(1)(b) authorizes closed sessions to consider the acquisition of real estate by lease or purchase; no additional details about the property, proposed terms or votes were disclosed at the time of the announcement.
No motions, seconded votes or public deliberations about the substance of a purchase were recorded during the opening remarks. The council’s statement indicated the meeting would temporarily move out of public view so that members and staff could discuss acquisition matters permitted by state law and then return to the public meeting at 6:30 p.m.
The council did not provide further public information about what would be discussed in the executive session or any timeline for subsequent public action. Any decisions taken in executive session that require public action would be expected to appear in later, public agenda items or official minutes.
