Beachwood council holds executive session to discuss economic-development applicant and obtain legal advice
Summary
Council moved into an executive session, citing Ohio Revised Code sections 3735.67 and 5709.41, to consider confidential business strategy related to an applicant for economic development assistance, possible negotiations with other political subdivisions, and to receive legal advice from the city law director; the council recessed to a conference room and later returned and adjourned without additional public action.
Council President Troika moved the Beachwood City Council into executive session on March 30 to consider confidential information related to the business strategy of an applicant for economic development assistance and to obtain legal advice from the city law director.
The motion cited Ohio Revised Code sections 3735.67 and 5709.41 as the legal basis for closing the meeting. "The executive session is necessary to protect the interests of the applicant and the possible expenditure of public funds to be made in connection with the economic development project," the council president said, and added that the second purpose was to obtain legal advice.
Miss Cook called the roll to enter executive session; council members answered in the affirmative and the council recessed to a conference room. The public record shows the council later returned to the record, the president adjourned the executive session and then adjourned the meeting; no public votes or substantive public disclosures about the executive-session topics were recorded after the closed session.
The transcript identifies the statutory citations presented to the public but does not record any final public action resulting directly from the executive session.
