Council moves to executive session after city attorney certifies security exemption
Summary
Council members moved and seconded a motion to enter an executive session; the city attorney certified that the session would address security plans, assessments or information the disclosure of which could be detrimental to public safety or welfare under Alabama law.
A council member moved and a second was made to go into an executive session. Mr. Holmes, identified in the transcript as the city attorney, said the legal basis for the closed meeting under Alabama law: "As your city attorney and attorney licensed to practice law in the state of Alabama, I can certify that this executive session is to discuss security plans, procedures, assessments, measures, or systems, or the security or safety of persons, structures, facilities, or other infrastructure, including without limitation information concerning critical infrastructure, the public disclosures of which could reasonably be expected to be detrimental to public safety or welfare." The transcript records the motion, second and the attorney's certification but does not include a recorded roll-call vote in the excerpt.
