Marion City Council adjourns to closed session on litigation and real-estate matters
Summary
The Marion City Council voted unanimously to adjourn to closed session to discuss three matters involving litigation and real estate under Code of Iowa §21.51(c) and §21.51(j).
The Marion City Council voted to adjourn to a closed session to discuss three matters involving litigation and real-estate transactions at the Jan. 21 work session.
A council member moved to adjourn to closed session “regarding litigation and real estate transactions as permitted under Section 21.51(c) and Section 21.51(j) of the Code of Iowa,” and the motion was seconded. The council then approved the motion by roll call. Those recorded voting yes were Mr. Jensen; Mr. Harper; Mr. Miskaman; Mayor Abouaceli; Miss Mensah; Mr. Brandt; and Mr. Stornette.
Why it matters: Iowa law allows closed sessions for certain litigation and real-estate discussions; the council used that statutory authority and stated the statutory citations on the record. No further details were disclosed in the public session.
