Council moves to executive session after city attorney certifies allowable topics
Summary
A motion to enter executive session was seconded and the City Attorney read a statutory certification citing real-property negotiations and preliminary trade/commerce negotiations as permissible topics under Alabama law.
A council member announced a request for an executive session for two items; the council subsequently moved and seconded the motion to go into executive session.
The City Attorney, speaking in an attorney capacity licensed in Alabama, read a statutory certification explaining the legal basis for the executive session. The attorney said the session would cover “consideration the governmental body is willing to offer except when considering the purchase sale exchange lease or market value of real property, as well as to discuss preliminary negotiations involving matters of trade or commerce in which the governmental body is in competition with private individuals or entities or other governmental bodies in Alabama or other states or foreign nations.” (City Attorney, timecode 00:18:11.)
The transcript excerpt ends after the attorney’s certification; it does not include the contents of the executive session or any subsequent votes taken in that closed session.
