Pueblo council votes to enter executive session to discuss negotiations and possible property purchase
Summary
Councilor (identified as President Martheila) moved and council approved an executive session to discuss negotiation strategy and a possible property purchase under CRS 24-6-402(4)(e)(I); the public meeting was to reconvene at 7:00 p.m.
Near the end of the Nov. 24 meeting, a council member identified in the record as President Martheila moved that the council go into executive session. The stated purpose was "determining positions relative to matters that may be subject to negotiations, developing strategy for negotiations, and/or instructing negotiators" and to discuss "the purchase, acquisition, lease, transfer, or sale of any real personal or other property interest pursuant to CRS 24-6-402(4)(e)(I)."
The motion was seconded, approved by voice vote (the chair said "I think the yeses got it") and the council adjourned the public portion to reconvene at 7:00 p.m. for the regular public meeting. No further public details about the property or negotiations were disclosed in the recorded segments.
The statutory authority the mover cited by number (CRS 24-6-402(4)(e)(I)) is the Colorado statute commonly invoked to meet in executive session for strategy regarding property negotiations; the transcript records only the motion and the council vote to go into executive session, not the substantive discussion that followed in executive session.
