The Ishpeming City Council voted to enter a closed session under Michigan Compiled Laws §15.268(d) to consider the purchase or lease of real property.
A motion to go into closed session was made and supported. City clerk Catherine conducted a roll-call vote; Mayor Pat Scanlon and council members Ben Argo, Brett Argo, Jason Chapman and Kirk Kipling each answered “yes,” and the council recessed to closed session. The meeting later returned to open session and adjourned.
The motion cited the statutory authority Michigan Compiled Laws §15.268(d), which allows a public body to meet in closed session to consider the purchase or lease of real property when public discussion would disadvantage the public body.
