Commission approves minutes, votes 5–0 to enter closed session on property disposition
Summary
The commission unanimously approved the minutes and voted 5–0 to go into a closed meeting to discuss the disposition of specified real property; commissioners later certified the closed-session matters were lawfully exempted.
The Portsmouth authority approved minutes from the previous meeting and voted unanimously to enter a closed meeting to discuss real-property disposition.
A motion to approve the minutes was moved and seconded; a roll-call vote recorded unanimous approval and the minutes were adopted.
Later, an unidentified commissioner moved to convene a closed meeting "pursuant to the moving code subsection 2 40 two-three 711 a 4 3 for the purpose of discussing the disposition of real property where discussion in an open meeting would adversely affect the bargaining position or negotiation strategy of the public filing, specifically regarding the disposition of 39 20 and 39 30 persons following," and the commission voted 5–0 to enter closed session. After returning to open session, the commission certified that only lawfully exempted matters had been discussed in the closed meeting.
The meeting record shows five commissioners voting yes on the closed-session motion; two members were recorded absent earlier in roll call. The motion and certification were procedural actions; no final public disposition or agreement on the named parcels was recorded in open session.
