Commission approves closed session to discuss real property purchase and attorney opinion
Summary
The commission moved to enter closed session to consider the purchase of real property and the written opinion of the city attorney that is exempt from disclosure; the motion was supported and a roll call was taken before recessing to closed session.
The Mount Clemens City Commission approved a joint motion to go into closed session "to consider the purchase of real property and to consider the written opinion of the city attorney that is exempt from disclosure," citing attorney-client privilege and negotiation confidentiality. The motion was supported on the record and a roll call vote followed; the commission recessed briefly and entered closed session.
No further detail about the property or the legal opinion was disclosed in open session. The motion was presented as a single joint motion and was supported without amendment; commissioners did not discuss the substance of the property matter or the legal opinion in public.
By council practice, matters discussed in closed session may prompt future public action if staff or the council later decide to take steps such as authorizing a purchase, releasing a privileged opinion, or returning with a recommendation for public vote. No such follow-up action was recorded during this meeting.
