Summary

On Nov. 17 the Berkley council appointed Ross Gavin mayor pro tem for a two-year term and voted to go into closed session to consider attorney-client privileged communication under MCL 15.2681(h); council stated no action would be taken after the closed session.

Council member Dennis Hennen nominated Ross Gavin to continue serving as mayor pro tem for the term Nov. 2025–Nov. 2027; the nomination was supported and approved by roll call.

Later in the meeting the council voted to convene in closed session to consider attorney-client privileged communications under the Michigan Open Meetings Act (MCL 15.2681(h)). The roll-call vote to enter closed session passed, and the mayor stated no action would be taken following the closed session; the council returned to open session and adjourned later in the evening.

The closed-session item was procedural: the council indicated the item was for attorney-client privileged communication and did not announce any public decisions or votes while in closed session.
