After closed session, Corydon council authorizes mayor to make real estate offer
Summary
Following a closed session to discuss real estate under Iowa Code §21.5(1)(j), the council unanimously authorized Mayor Nathan Bennett to make an offer to purchase property as discussed in closed session.
The Corydon City Council voted on Sept. 24 to authorize Mayor Nathan Bennett to make a real estate offer following a closed-session discussion held under Iowa Code §21.5(1)(j).
Councilor Kenny Holmes moved to enter closed session pursuant to the Iowa statute to discuss purchase of real estate; Councilor Chase Clark seconded and the motion carried unanimously. After returning to open session (a motion to exit closed session was made by Councilor Chase Clark and seconded by Councilor Kyle Hampton), Councilor Dawn Christian moved to authorize Mayor Bennett to make the real estate offer as discussed in closed session. Councilor Chase Clark seconded the motion, and the recorded vote was Ayes: Christian, Clark, Hampton, Holmes, and Wolfe; Nays: none.
The minutes do not disclose property details because the matter was discussed in closed session under the cited provision of the Iowa Code. The authorization permits Mayor Bennett to proceed with making the offer discussed during the closed session; any further action or disclosure will follow council procedure and applicable law.
