City council adds closed-session item on potential property purchase, votes 4-0
Summary
At a Feb. 17 special meeting, the Livingston City Council voted 4-0 to add a walk-on closed-session item concerning potential real property negotiations for a parcel at the southwest quadrant of Lincoln Parkway and B Street (APN 022-010-007) and then retired into closed session.
The Livingston City Council voted 4-0 at a special meeting Feb. 17 to add a late closed-session item about potential real property negotiations and immediately retired into closed session.
Staff opened the item as a walk-on, saying, "Staff has a walk on item for this evening," and advising the council it would be handled under closed session. The staff statement identified the legal basis: "This will be real property negotiations under Government Code section 54956.8," and cited the late-addition standard in Government Code section 54954.2.
The council moved to add the item after the agenda was published. A council member moved to "add the item as described by the city attorney," a motion that was seconded. The roll-call vote passed 4-0. After staff supplied additional property details — an unassigned address at the southwest quadrant of Lincoln Parkway and B Street, APN 022-010-007 — the mayor asked for a re-motion so the record would reflect the new information. The council again approved the item by roll call, 4-0.
Council member Roth was noted as running late and did not vote; the meeting record shows four present votes in favor on both roll-call tallies. The council then announced it would retire into closed session at 6:11 p.m. to consider the item and indicated it would return after the closed session.
No public comments were received on the closed-session item during the public-comment period that was opened specifically for closed-session items, which the mayor closed at 6:09 p.m.
Next steps: the council moved the matter into closed session for negotiation; no further public details were provided in open session about the terms, the seller, funding sources, or a timeline for any potential purchase.
