Committee member Ster moved, and Committee member Garmin seconded, a motion to go into closed session under Iowa Code 21.5(1)(i). The Chair asked for any discussion and, when none was offered, called for a roll-call vote.
The motion passed on a roll-call vote; the transcript records five "yes" votes and no recorded no or abstain votes. The Chair then stated the meeting would go into closed session and the participants prepared to switch over to the closed session format. The public transcript ends with that transition and contains no further public discussion of the subject.
The motion was presented as a procedural step to move into an executive (closed) session under state statute. The transcript records the code citation as "Iowa code 21.51 I."; the statute commonly cited for such sessions is Iowa Code 21.5(1)(i). The record does not state the subject matter to be discussed in closed session or any required follow-up steps for public disclosure.
The meeting provided no additional public details about the reason for the closed session or any subsequent actions; the next procedural step recorded is the shift into closed session.
