Anniston Ward 1 town hall announced; council praises recent DC trip and moves to executive session on real estate and negotiations
Summary
Council member Donnell announced a Ward 1 town hall for Thursday at 5:30 p.m.; council members recapped a recent Washington, D.C. trip and the council voted to adjourn into executive session to discuss property and trade/commerce negotiations that the chair said would be harmed by public disclosure.
Council member Donnell announced a Ward 1 Town Hall meeting scheduled for Thursday at 5:30 p.m. in the museum auditorium and encouraged residents to attend with concerns and ideas. During council comments several members described a recent Washington, D.C. trip as productive and praised the mayor’s engagement; members said they planned to continue pursuing national-level funding and partnerships.
Near the end of the session the presiding officer moved that the council adjourn into executive session to discuss the purchase, sale, exchange, lease or market value of real property and preliminary negotiations involving trade or commerce where the city competes with private entities. The chair stated that disclosure of those discussions would have a detrimental effect on the city’s competitive position. The transcript ends with a partial statement that the body "will not return to deliberate or vote on any matters discussed in the" executive session.
The motion to go into executive session was made on the record and the meeting moved toward executive-session procedure. The transcript excerpt does not include subsequent public minutes from that executive session or any final public actions taken after it.
