The McAllen City Commission recessed into executive session and later returned to the public meeting. On return the City Attorney (referred to in the transcript as 'Counselor') recommended that the board entertain a motion authorizing the city attorney and city manager to proceed as described in executive session with respect to agenda items 6a and 6b.

A commissioner moved, another seconded, and the commission approved the recommendation by voice vote. The public transcript does not disclose the substance of items 6a and 6b or the legal advice exchanged in executive session; the commission’s action authorized staff (the city attorney and city manager) to take the next steps described privately in executive session.

No roll-call tally or further public direction was included in the transcript.
