Council votes unanimously to enter executive session to discuss pending litigation and real property
Summary
The Tuscaloosa City Council voted 'aye' to enter executive session after the city attorney certified the closed-session grounds: discussion of legal strategy for pending or imminently likely litigation and consideration of real-property purchase/sale/valuation.
The Tuscaloosa City Council voted to go into executive session to consult with its attorney on litigation strategy and to discuss real-property matters.
A motion to enter executive session was moved and seconded. Scott, speaking as city attorney, certified the legal basis on the record, saying the closed session would cover "the legal ramifications of and legal options for pending litigation" and matters related to what the governmental body would be willing to offer or accept when considering the purchase, sale, exchange, lease or market value of real property. He stated this certificate under the authority granted to him by Alabama law.
The presiding official called the vote: "All in favor, say aye." The transcript records responses of "Aye," and the body approved entering executive session. The mover and seconder of the motion are not identified in the excerpt provided.
Next steps: the council proceeded into executive session after the unanimous recorded vote; no further action from the closed session appears in the provided transcript excerpt.
