Stratford council holds executive session on possible property purchase, then authorizes administration to proceed
Summary
During the June 17 special meeting the council moved into executive session to discuss purchase of real property, citing concerns that publicity could hurt negotiating position; after returning to open session the council authorized town administration to proceed as discussed in executive session.
Councilmember Mister Lawan moved the Town of Stratford council into executive session on June 17 to discuss the purchase of real property, saying publicity about the sites "would adversely impact the price of such." He specified participants to be the council, Mayor Hoytik, CAO Timniak, chief of staff (referred to in the record as "sir Matthews"), finance director Don Savo, and town attorneys Hodgson, LeClaire and Florek.
During the pre-executive-session discussion Chair Carl Glad clarified that attorney Hodgson "is not invited," and the council voted by voice to enter executive session. The transcript records the council later returning to open session; after returning, Councilmember Mister Long moved that "we authorize the town administration to proceed as discussed in executive session." The motion was seconded and passed by voice vote.
The record provided at the meeting does not include the substance of the executive-session discussion; the public transcript shows only the stated purpose (purchase of real property), the list of attendees, the procedural votes to enter and to return from executive session, and the post-session authorization for administration to proceed.
