Madison County commissioners approve minutes and vote to enter executive session to discuss sale of real property
Summary
At the Jan. 13 meeting the board moved and seconded to approve prior meeting minutes and later voted unanimously in roll call to enter an executive session to discuss the purchase/sale of real property; the statute cited for the executive session was not specified in the transcript.
The Madison County Board of Commissioners approved the existing meeting minutes and later voted to enter an executive session to discuss the purchase or sale of real property, according to public meeting remarks on Jan. 13.
During the meeting an unidentified speaker made a motion to approve the prior meeting minutes, which was seconded and called for a vote. The chair said, "Hearing none," then called the vote.
Later in the agenda the board discussed a lease request for the old board of elections building and an intent-to-purchase offer that had been received. An unidentified speaker moved to enter executive session to discuss the purchase or sale of real property and said they had statutory language available to cite. The mover stated, "I have the language. I have it to the statute to cite here." A second was recorded and the board proceeded to a roll-call vote; affirmatives were recorded.
The transcript does not provide the exact statute citation the mover referred to nor does it record the text of the lease or the buyer's identity. The meeting minutes will be the official record for the executive-session statutory citation and any nonpublic details resulting from that closed session.
Procedural: commissioners handled the motions and roll-call votes during the public meeting; no public deliberation about the proposals occurred in the transcript beyond the instruction to move into executive session.
