The Cuyahoga County Committee of the Whole voted to enter an executive session on April 8 to discuss a collective bargaining matter, and the motion carried on the clerk's roll call. Council President Miller and 10 other members voted in favor; Council Member Turner was recorded as absent for the vote.
Under the Ohio open meetings law, the council's chair said, council may meet in executive session only for specifically authorized purposes and may not make decisions during that closed portion. The chair announced the council would pause the public livestream for the executive session and convene in the adjacent Committee Room A while most attendees remained in chambers.
The motion to enter executive session was moved and seconded on the floor and then put to a roll call. The clerk recorded the following responses on the motion: Miss Conwell (yes), Mister Jones (yes), Miss Turner (absent), Mister Hauser (yes), Miss Simon (yes), Mister Kelly (yes), Mister Sweeney (yes), Mister Castleberry (yes), Mister Gallagher (yes), Mister Schlepper (yes), and Council President Miller (yes). The clerk announced, "The motion carries." The committee then adjourned to the executive session.
After the closed session, the committee returned to order and the clerk noted that Council Member Turner was present for the reconvened meeting. No formal decisions were announced in open session at the time the public record resumed.
