The chair called a special meeting on Thursday, Feb. 19 and moved into an executive session under Texas Government Code Section 551.072 to deliberate the purchase, exchange, lease or value of real property. The meeting returned to open session at 10:40 a.m. and immediately adjourned; no public details of the deliberations were recorded.
The chair called a special meeting on Thursday, Feb. 19 and at 10:30 a.m. moved the gathering into an executive session "pursuant to Texas Government Code Section 551.072" to deliberate the purchase, exchange, lease or value of real property, according to the meeting transcript.
Under the cited statute, the chair said, the body would consider confidential matters related to real property. The transcript records the chair stating the statutory citation and the scope: "to deliberate the purchase, exchange, lease or value of real property." No additional public description of the property or the substance of deliberations appears in the transcript.
The meeting returned to open session at 10:40 a.m.; the chair announced, "It's 10:40 and this meeting's back in open session." The chair then asked whether there was any business. A motion to adjourn was made and seconded. After calling for the vote the transcript records attendees saying "Aye" and the chair declaring the motion passed. The transcript does not record a roll-call vote, names of the mover or seconder, or any further discussion.
The chair noted the time as 10:40 a.m. and the meeting ended. Because the transcript records only the statutory basis for the closed session and the start and end times, no substantive public record of the executive-session deliberations is available in the provided transcript.
