Council votes to enter executive session to discuss security arrangements and emergency response protocols

During the study session, a motion was made and seconded to enter an executive session for a closed discussion of security arrangements and emergency response protocols. The facilitator cited the statutory basis (as stated aloud in the transcript) that the discussion concerns information that, "if disclosed, could reasonably be expected to jeopardize the security of the public body or a public office."

The motion was moved by Vice Mayor Follic and seconded by Councilwoman Bradford. A roll-call vote followed: Council member Ford, Council member Hathaway, Council member Bradford, Council member Avalotus Weaver, Council member Folic and Mayor Herbs each voted "yes," and the facilitator announced that "the motion passes 6." The council then recessed to the large conference room for the executive session. The study-session transcript does not include the executive-session discussion or any action taken there.

Because the item moved to executive session, no additional public debate or recorded public action on the substantive security topics appears in the study-session record.
