Why it matters: Executive sessions are the formal mechanism by which councils may discuss certain personnel, real estate and litigation matters in private; minutes and any public action required by law are recorded separately if and when formal votes or disclosures are made.
What was recorded: The clerk’s minutes reflect the motion, the second and the 8-0-1 tally (Johnson absent). They also record the adjournment of the closed session with no action taken.
