Special called meeting approves agenda, votes unanimously to enter closed session

At a special called meeting this evening, participants approved the meeting agenda and unanimously voted to enter a closed session, saying the closed session would not be streamed and that no formal action would follow.

The presiding member opened the meeting and took a motion "to approve the agenda as presented," which the presiding member said was moved by Ms. Beyer and seconded by Ms. Carter Otten. After an initial voice vote the presiding member announced the measure passed; a participant then noted they were attending virtually and the presiding member conducted a roll-call vote to record that member's participation. During the roll call the presiding member recorded Millicent Rogers as voting "aye," followed by yes votes from Ms. Beyer, Cardell and the presiding member; the presiding member said the motion passed unanimously.

The presiding member then introduced a closed-session agenda item and stated, "we will not stream after the closed session" and that "our board will not take any action after that." A motion "that we go into closed session for the reasons stated on the agenda" was recorded as moved by Ms. Beyer and seconded by Ms. Carter Otten. A roll-call vote on the motion returned unanimous "aye" votes and the presiding member announced the group would enter closed session.

Two members identified in the meeting as Mister Tabb and Miss Harold Goff were noted as expected to join later in the evening. The transcript records that the stated reasons for the closed session were "on the agenda" but does not specify those reasons in the public portion of the meeting.

The meeting proceeded into closed session; the presiding member said no further public action would be taken afterward.
