Affordable Housing Trust votes to enter executive session to discuss real‑property negotiations
Summary
The Trust voted unanimously on March 3 to adjourn the public session and reconvene in executive session to consider the purchase, exchange, lease or value of real property where an open meeting could harm bargaining position.
Chair Brian Sullivan sought a motion to adjourn the public session for the purpose of reconvening in executive session to consider the purchase, exchange, lease or value of real property — a standard exception to open‑meeting requirements when public discussion may hurt negotiating position.
A motion to adjourn to executive session was made and seconded. Member(s) clarified the required phrasing for the motion (that it be to adjourn the regular session to go into executive session for the stated statutory purpose). The Trust then voted by roll call; recorded ayes were entered and the motion carried.
The transcript records the vote as affirmative by the participating members; the meeting proceeded into executive session as announced. The Trust did not discuss details of the real‑property matter in open session, consistent with the stated reason for executive session.
