Perry council approves consent items and convenes closed session on litigation
Summary
The council approved consent agenda items by voice vote and later voted in open session to move into a closed session for a strategy discussion regarding pending or reasonably imminent litigation; a roll call for the closed session recorded five 'yes' votes.
After the work session and public comment, Perry City Council approved the consent agenda and then voted to enter a closed session for litigation strategy.
A council member moved to approve the consent items and the motion was seconded; the mayor called for a voice vote and members answered in the affirmative. “Consent item is approved,” the mayor declared.
Later, a council member moved that the public session be closed and the city move into closed session for item D, described as a strategy session regarding pending or reasonably imminent litigation. The motion was seconded and the council completed a roll‑call vote: Council member Young, Council member Walker, Council member Osler, Council member Wright and Council member Tueller were recorded in the transcript as answering ‘yes.’ The council moved into closed session.
The meeting record in the transcript does not show substantive debate on the closed session item in open session — the purpose cited was permitted under the city’s closed‑session rules for litigation strategy. The transcript ends as the council moved into the closed session.
