Eureka City council approves bills, acknowledges Nov. 3 financials and votes to enter closed session
Summary
The council moved and seconded approval of the bills by voice vote, acknowledged receipt of the November 3 financials, and later voted to go into a closed session to discuss contract-related matters.
During its regular meeting the Eureka City Council approved payment of the bills and acknowledged receipt of the November 3 financial statements by voice vote.
A council member moved to approve the bills and a second was recorded; the chair then called for a voice vote and announced the motion passed. Later the chair acknowledged receipt of the November 3 financials; the body again indicated assent by voice.
Shortly after those routine items, a council member said several matters ‘‘would probably be better discussed in a closed session’’ because they involved contract-type business. A motion to go into closed session was made, seconded and approved by voice vote; the council prepared to discuss contracts behind closed doors.
Minutes and the recorded votes show the body used standard voice votes for these procedural matters; the mover and second are not identified by name in the transcript and no ordinance or resolution numbers were cited in the discussion.
