The Sedona City Council voted to go into an executive session to consult with the city attorney and to consider and instruct its attorneys about contracts related to the Villas on Shelby project at 2250 Shelby Drive.
Council members cited Arizona Revised Statutes 38-431.03(A)(3) and (4) as the authority to close the meeting for legal advice and negotiation strategy related to a ground lease agreement, a declaration/deed of trust and a promissory note with Villas of Shelby, LLC (HS Development Partners LLC). A council motion to enter the executive session was moved and seconded and the mayor called for the ayes; the motion was approved.
