Pontiac council votes to enter closed session to consider attorney-client legal opinion under 'sections 81H'
Summary
The Pontiac City Council voted unanimously to move into a closed session under 'sections 81H' to receive an attorney-client privileged legal opinion; the roll call recorded seven yays and the meeting entered closed session at 5:11 p.m.
The Pontiac City Council voted to move into a closed session to consider an attorney-client privileged legal opinion pursuant to "sections 81H."
Councilwoman Jones moved to proceed into closed session; Councilman Jackson seconded the motion. Clerk Doyle conducted a roll call in which the members present registered seven yays. The council announced it would move into closed session at 5:11 p.m.
The motion cited "sections 81H" as the authority for the closed session; the council did not discuss the substance of the legal opinion in open session. The meeting record shows the council followed the motion with a roll call and then recessed into closed session during the same hour.
Why it matters: Closed sessions invoked under a statutory provision allow councils to receive privileged legal advice without public disclosure of the deliberations. The transcript documents only the procedural vote to enter closed session and does not record further action or outcome from the closed session itself.
