Trustees vote down motion to enter closed session
Summary
A presiding official recorded a roll-call vote that rejected a motion to hold a closed session by 4–2; the transcript does not include the exact motion wording or the body name. Two trustees voted Aye and four voted No; a subsequent motion was moved and seconded but not detailed.
Trustees voted 4–2 to reject a motion to enter a closed session during a brief meeting. The presiding official, identified in the transcript only as the chairing speaker, conducted a roll-call and announced the tally and result.
According to the transcript, the chair said, "Consider my vote. It would be 4 to 2," and later stated, "I'm the 1 that asked for the closed session, if that makes a difference." The transcript does not supply the exact wording of the motion or the reason the closed session was requested.
The roll call recorded Trustee Hassenberger and Trustee Muir as voting Aye. Trustees Benetti, Boatner, Berson and Mallet were recorded as voting No or Nay, producing a two‑to‑four vote against the motion. Following the announcement that the "motion fails," the transcript records "So moved" and "Second," but it does not identify who moved or seconded the subsequent action or give its text.
The meeting transcript provides no additional context about the subject matter proposed for the closed session or any follow-up steps. No formal timeline for reconsideration or next meeting agenda item was stated in the recorded segment.
