Scottsdale council recesses into executive session during Feb. 11 special meeting

The Scottsdale City Council recessed into an executive session during its Feb. 11 special meeting after a motion to do so was moved and approved by voice vote.

Mayor Lisa Boroski called the meeting to order and asked City Clerk Ben Lane to conduct a roll call. After the roll call, Boroski asked for a motion to recess into executive session. Ben Lane responded, “So moved.” Boroski then called for the vote: “All those in favor say, aye.” The record captures four vocal “aye” responses; the transcript does not identify who cast those responses.

The transcript provided for this meeting does not include any explanation of the purpose of the executive session, a statutory citation authorizing it, or any items discussed in closed session. The roll call at the start of the public portion shows Mayor Lisa Boroski; Vice Mayor Jan Duboscas; Council members Barry Graham, Adam Quasman, Kathy Littlefield, Mary Anne McAllen and Solange Whitehead as present. Interim City Manager Greg Caton, City Attorney Sherry Scott, City Treasurer Sonia Andrews and City Clerk Ben Lane were also recorded as present during the roll call.

No motions, votes on ordinances or other substantive public actions appear in the recorded transcript beyond the motion to recess into executive session and the subsequent voice vote. The meeting transcript ends with the council moving into the closed session; no further public deliberations or outcomes are shown in the provided record.

The council’s reasons for holding the executive session and any outcomes from the closed portion are not specified in the transcript and therefore are not reported here.
