Chair moves executive session on property sale; council dispenses with opening ceremony and adopts agenda

The chair moved that the meeting "dispense with the opening ceremony," and members approved the motion after a second and roll call.

The chair then asked for a motion to accept the agenda; that motion was seconded and passed by roll call. Recorded affirmative votes included Mr. James (committee member), Mr. Yurdock (committee member), Mr. Dudley (committee member) and Mr. Humphrey (committee member). The transcript records Mr. Singleton as absent during the earlier roll call on the ceremony motion.

The chair announced a motion, which was seconded, "to go into executive session to consider the sale of property at competitive bidding." A roll call on that motion recorded yes votes from Mr. Humphrey, Mr. James, Mr. Yurdock and Mr. Dudley, and the body approved moving into executive session for the stated purpose.

Exact mover and seconder names for the motions are not specified in the transcript. The transcript provides no parcel identification, price, timetable, or other substantive details about the property sale; those specifics were not included before the body closed the public meeting to executive session.
