EDC approves consent agenda minutes, moves item 13 to executive session under Texas law and adjourns

At its October meeting the City of Cleveland Economic Development Corporation approved the consent agenda, moved agenda item 13 into executive session under Texas Government Code provisions and later adjourned the public meeting.

Brent McWaters moved to approve the consent agenda (item 8, meeting minutes); Michael Buckley seconded. President Chuck Thompson called for a vote and the motion "approves unanimously." The publicly recorded result was approval of the consent agenda with no recorded dissents.

Later in the meeting Brent McWaters moved to close the open session for discussion of item 13; Jasmine Funes seconded that motion. The board cited Texas Government Code sections 551.071 (consultation with attorney), 551.072 (deliberation about real property), 551.073 (deliberations about gifts and donations), 551.074 (personnel matters) and 551.076 (deliberations about security devices) and also referenced section "0.0687" when announcing authority to adjourn into executive session. The chair set the executive session to begin at 6:45 p.m.; the meeting record shows the board adjourned into executive session and later reconvened to adjourn the public meeting.

At the end of the public meeting Chuck Thompson moved to adjourn; Michael Buckley seconded. The motion carried and the meeting was adjourned.

Ending: The public record documents approval of the consent agenda and the board's invocation of Texas Government Code provisions to hold an executive session; the transcript does not record the contents or outcome of the executive session because those matters were discussed in closed session.
