Berrien County commissioners approve minutes, consent calendar and move to closed session
Summary
The board approved minutes from the prior week, approved the consent calendar by roll call, and voted to enter closed session to discuss pending litigation; roll calls were recorded in the public transcript.
The Berrien County Board of Commissioners handled routine approvals and a procedural closed-session vote at Monday's meeting.
The board approved minutes from last week (motion moved by Freon and supported by Vollrath; approved by voice). The consent calendar was approved on a roll-call vote after a motion by Vollrath and second by Bell; the clerk recorded all present as voting yes.
Later the board voted to enter closed session under the pending-litigation exception to discuss a quiet-title action (Sturgeon Beach Property Owners Association v. New Buffalo Township). Commissioner Vollrath moved the motion; it was seconded and carried on a roll-call vote; commissioners present voted in favor. The chair said the board would briefly return to open session to tentatively approve a resolution resolving the quiet-title action and to approve closed-session minutes if appropriate.
The transcript records roll-call responses for both the consent calendar and the closed-session motion; minutes and consent items were approved and the closed session was authorized as recorded.
