Clarkdale council enters executive session over Old Jerome Highway; returns with no public action
Summary
At a Dec. 9 special meeting, the Clarkdale Town Council voted to go into executive session under ARS §38-431.03(A)(3) to consult with attorneys about Old Jerome Highway, returned at 5:41 p.m. and took no public action before adjourning.
The Clarkdale Town Council voted Dec. 9 to enter an executive session to consult with its attorneys about matters described in the agenda as Old Jerome Highway, citing Arizona Revised Statutes section 38-431.03(A)(3).
The meeting moderator moved the item onto the floor as agenda item 3 and members moved and seconded the motion to go into closed session. After a voice vote, the moderator announced, “We are now in executive session,” and the public recording was stopped. The moderator also noted that Carol Johnson was on the call before the recording was halted.
The council returned to open session at 5:41 p.m.; the moderator said, “no action is being taken at this time on that item.” After returning to open session the council immediately voted to adjourn; the moderator announced the meeting was adjourned at 5:42 p.m. and that the council would reconvene at 6:00 p.m.
The executive session was convened under the statutory exception that allows a public body to consult with its attorney for legal advice. The transcript records a voice vote to enter closed session but does not provide a roll-call tally of yes or no votes, nor does it record any public motions or decisions taken while the meeting was closed.
