Committee votes to go into executive session over a potential Portland Technology Park sale
Summary
The committee voted to enter executive session to give staff direction on a current offer for a city‑owned site at Portland Technology Park; the closed session is authorized under state negotiation statutes.
Director Greg Watson told the committee the executive session would allow staff and the committee to discuss the specifics of a current offer and provide negotiation direction without placing the proposer at a competitive disadvantage.
"The purpose of the discussion tonight is to provide staff with feedback in executive session around a current offer/proposal for a site that the city has offered for sale at the Portland Technology Park," Watson said.
Councilor Regina Phillips moved to enter executive session and Councilor Kate Sykes seconded. The chair called the roll and attending councilors voted yes. The committee went into executive session under the cited state negotiation statute to discuss terms of a possible sale; no public deliberation of the terms was recorded in the open meeting.
What’s next: the committee will hold the closed session and then return with a recommended purchase and sale agreement or additional guidance at a future public meeting.
