Isanti City Council returns to open session, unanimously approves adjournment and to reconvene as committee of the whole
Summary
At a brief meeting, the Isanti City Council voted 5-0 to return to open session, approved a motion to adjourn the council meeting, and agreed to reconvene as a committee of the whole for about 15 minutes to discuss a joint powers agreement.
The Isanti City Council resumed open session and then unanimously approved a series of procedural motions, including adjourning the council meeting and reconvening as a committee of the whole to continue discussion of a joint powers agreement.
Council Member Lundin moved to adjourn the council meeting; Council Member Peterson seconded the motion. The presiding officer asked members, "All in favor, say aye," and later announced, "Motion carries 5 0." The council repeated the 5-0 approval when it agreed to resume the committee of the whole and briefly recess to continue committee business.
The Chair asked whether someone wanted to "make a motion to come back with more information in 2 weeks" on the matter; members indicated no additional delay was needed. At one point a member said they needed to discuss the joint powers agreement before adjourning, and the group agreed the item would be addressed in committee rather than delayed on the council floor. The Chair said the council would "go back to committee of the whole after this for 15 minutes."
No votes on ordinances, budgets, contracts, or other substantive policy items were recorded in the transcript. The motions documented in the meeting were procedural and focused on the assembly’s organization and next steps for continuing committee review of the joint powers agreement.
The council adjourned the session and planned a short committee-of-the-whole reconvening to continue the joint powers agreement discussion.
