Spring City council votes to move into closed session on pending litigation, then adjourns

The Spring City City Council voted to enter a closed session to discuss pending litigation after a motion by councilmember Randy Strait and a second from Paul Penrod, then returned to open session and adjourned.

An unidentified presiding officer opened the meeting and said the public portion would be brief. A speaker identified only as Ken offered an invocation. During roll call, members present named themselves as Randy Strait, Marty McCain, Ken Crow, Chris Anderson, Courtney Sam and Paul Penrod.

The presiding officer said the council would seek a two‑thirds vote to move into a closed session "to discuss the pending litigation." Randy Strait moved that "the city council go into a closed session to discuss the pending litigation," and Paul Penrod seconded. A roll‑call vote recorded affirmative responses for Randy Strait, Marty McCain, Ken (transcript spelling varies), Courtney (transcript spelling varies) and Paul Penrod; the presiding officer confirmed the motion passed.

The council then held a closed session (transcript did not provide details of the litigation). Upon returning to open session the presiding officer conducted another roll call. A motion to adjourn was made and seconded; recorded affirmative responses were given and the presiding officer stated the adjournment vote was unanimous, concluding the meeting.

The transcript records only procedural actions: the motion and vote to enter a closed session citing "pending litigation," plus the subsequent adjournment. No substantive discussion of the litigation or any other agenda items is contained in the public transcript.
