City Attorney Ricardo Woods asked the Mobile City Council to go into executive session to discuss potential real property transactions involving the city. The council took a roll‑call vote and approved the executive session.
Woods stated his name and bar licensure before asking for the roll call: "My name is Ricardo Woods. I'm the city attorney for City Mobile. I'm licensed to practice in the state of Alabama. Madam vice president, I'm asking that you conduct a roll call vote to go into executive session to discuss considerations for this government body and its willingness to offer and accept, and consider the purchase, sale, exchange, or lease of a particular property." A motion to move into executive session was made and seconded, and the roll call recorded the following votes as "Yes": Vice President Gregory; Council member Penn; Council member Carroll; Council member Reynolds; Council member Daves; Council member Woods.
The council recessed to executive session and agreed to reconvene by 10:30 a.m. The public record from the meeting contains the motion and the roll‑call votes but does not include details of the executive session discussion.
