Plain City Council moves into executive session to consider property purchase
Summary
Council voted to enter executive session under Ohio Revised Code section 121.22(G)(2) to consider the purchase of property for public purposes; members indicated they would not return to open session.
At the end of the May 6 meeting, council moved into executive session to discuss a potential property acquisition.
The chair made a motion invoking Ohio Revised Code section 121.22(G)(2) — which allows public bodies to meet in executive session to consider the purchase of property for public purposes — and the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. Council indicated it would not return to open session.
Why it matters: Executive-session discussions of property acquisition are routine municipal business but may precede a public action such as a purchase agreement or land use step that would later come before council in open session.
Next steps: Any formal action or resolution related to a purchase would be brought back in open session for a public vote.
