Following the tree-planting presentation, the council recorded a motion and a second to enter an executive session to consider items authorized by local statute subsections cited by staff. The motion listed several topics for closed session, including decertification/recertification requests, post-contract matters for purchase of property on Ashmore Street, a donation to Pleasant Valley Connection, uncommitted construction at 711 Mullen Road, a deed/contribution request, a proposed agreement and several personnel matters.

The transcript records the motion and a second but does not include a roll-call vote or a recorded outcome in the excerpt provided. The items cited are procedural and separate from the urban-forest presentation.
