Commission returns to open session, recesses for municipal building authority; will reconvene at 1 p.m. to canvass 2024 general election

Unidentified Speaker 1 moved the meeting back into open session after closed deliberations, saying, "I'd entertain a motion to go back into open." A participant replied, "So moved," followed by a "Second," and Unidentified Speaker 1 confirmed there was "a motion and a second to go back into open session."

When the chair called for a vote—"All in favor?"—the transcript records garbled numeric responses and does not provide a clear vote tally. The transcript later states, "We're back in open session," indicating the motion carried and the body resumed public business.

At 11:46 a.m., Unidentified Speaker 1 announced the commission would recess for a Municipal Building Authority meeting and reconvene at 1:00 p.m. to conduct the canvass of the 2024 general election results, stating, "It's 11:46, and we're going to, recess, for a municipal building authority meeting. And then we will come back from recess at 01:00 for our canvas of the 2024 general collection." The phrase "collection" appears in the transcript; records and common practice indicate this referred to the canvass of the 2024 general election results (see audit notes).

A brief procedural question about equipment followed: "Should I shut this 1 off?" The commission then left for the recess; the record does not include further public debate on substantive agenda items before the recess.

The meeting is scheduled to return at 1:00 p.m. for the canvass; the transcript does not include a roll-call or clear vote tally for the motion to return to open session.
