Anniston council votes to enter executive session to discuss real property negotiations

During the meeting the presiding official moved to adjourn into executive session to discuss matters related to the city’s competitive position in potential purchase, sale, exchange, lease or market-value discussions for real property and preliminary negotiations involving trade or commerce where the government is in competition with private entities. The presiding official stated that public discussion would have a detrimental effect on the city’s competitive position.

The motion was seconded, the clerk called the roll and council members responded affirmatively; the transcript records the motion as having been approved by roll call. The transcript does not record substantive discussion in open session about the specific property or negotiation counterparties, nor does it record vote tallies tied cleanly to individual members in a single consolidated roll-call table.
