Near the end of the meeting, Mayor Bedell requested a motion to adjourn to closed session to discuss legal matters and personnel/collective bargaining under the Illinois Compiled Statutes. The motion was moved and seconded by council members, the clerk called the roll and recorded affirmative votes, and the council recessed to closed session.

The council cited the statutory authority for executive sessions and moved the discussion into closed session; no substantive outcomes from the closed session were discussed on the public record during this meeting.
