Summary

Following an executive session citing Texas statutes for attorney consultation and real-property deliberation, the board authorized the city manager to negotiate a potential land purchase; the motion passed with one member recorded as opposed (name not stated).

The Kennedale EDC met in executive session Feb. 3 to consult with the city attorney and to deliberate the purchase, exchange, lease or value of real property under cited statutory exemptions. After returning to open session a board member moved to authorize the city manager to negotiate a potential land purchase; the motion was seconded, and the board carried the motion with one opposing vote recorded (the transcript does not name the opposing member).

The chair cited the statutory bases for the closed session in open session before the board recessed and later reported the post-executive-session motion and outcome. The transcript records the motion, the second and the vote count as "1 opposed" but does not include a full roll-call tally or further details about the property or negotiation parameters.
