The Carson Reclamation Authority reported Dec. 22 that it met in closed session to discuss real‑property negotiations with Carson Goose owner LLC and directed its negotiator, John Raymond, before authorizing a commitment letter related to the property at 2400 South Main Street.

Turner, who reported out after the closed session, told the board, "The board authorized the execution of a commitment letter, in form satisfactory to the attorney's office, with Carson Goose owner and a lender." The transcript does not record a mover, seconder or a roll‑call vote on the authorization.

Chair Davis Holmes opened the special meeting and took roll call before the closed session, noting the presence of Board Member Aldridge Jr., Board Member Hopson, Board Member Thomas and Vice Chair Hicks Sr. The board recessed for a closed session that Turner said would run about 45 minutes; the chair announced the body would return at approximately 10:10.

Government Code section 54956.8 permits a public body to meet in closed session to discuss real‑property negotiations; the board cited that statute when announcing the closed session and identified the negotiator as John Raymond and the counterpart as Carson Goose owner LLC. The board's public report named the specific parcel identifiers used in negotiations—Cells 34 and 5 at 2400 South Main Street in Carson—and said the commitment letter must be in a form acceptable to the attorney's office.

The transcript does not provide the full terms of the commitment letter, the identity of the lender, the exact authorization language beyond Turner's statement, nor any recorded vote totals. The board offered holiday remarks and community acknowledgements later in the meeting and moved to recess/adjourn after routine closing comments.
