The Tuscaloosa City Council voted to enter an executive session to discuss a security matter during its meeting Wednesday.

After a motion and second, the council voted in favor of the executive session. The city attorney certified the legal basis for the closed meeting, saying it would cover "security plans, procedures, assessments, measures, systems, or the security or safety of persons, structures, facilities, or other infrastructure including without limitation, information concerning critical infrastructure, the public disclosure of which could reasonably be expected to be detrimental to the public safety or welfare." The attorney identified himself as counsel licensed to practice law in Alabama when making the certification.

The transcript ends with the motion passed and the council moving into executive session; the content of the private session and any subsequent actions are not included in the provided excerpt.
