San Marcos City Council votes to enter executive session on property purchases, economic development contract and staff compensation
Summary
On Sept. 2 the council voted to go into executive session under Texas Government Code provisions to discuss property related to the old Southside School, a lease at 201 South LBJ Drive, an economic development services contract with Hayes Caldwell Economic Development Partnership, and compensation and goals for appointed officials; the motion passed at 3:13 p.m.
The San Marcos City Council voted to enter executive session on Sept. 2 to deliberate on several items listed in the public notice under the Texas Government Code. The clerk read the notice, which cited Section 551.072 (real property) and Section 551.074 (personnel), and identified specific subjects: a possible purchase of property associated with the old Southside School (off South LBJ between Cheatham Street and IH 352), the lease of city-owned property at 201 South LBJ Drive, consultation with the city attorney regarding the contract for economic development services with the Hayes Caldwell Economic Development Partnership, and deliberations about compensation, benefits and goals for council appointees (city manager, municipal court judge, city attorney and city clerk).
A motion to go into executive session was made by Miss Rodriguez and seconded by Mister Lorenzo Gonzales. The clerk recorded that "the motion passes 5 2 0 with 2 absent." The council moved into executive session at 3:13 p.m. The transcript indicates the executive session concluded at 5:50 p.m.
After the closed session, the council returned to open session and announced a public question-and-answer period with press and public; no members of the public had signed up to speak. The Chair then adjourned the work session at 5:51 p.m.
Because the matters were considered in executive session, no public record of deliberations beyond the posted agenda items was provided in the transcript.
