Kingsley council votes to enter closed session under MCL 15.268(h); reopens with no action recorded
Summary
The council voted to enter a closed session under MCL 15.268(h) to consider material exempt from disclosure; the closed session began at 6:56 p.m. and the council reopened at 7:42 p.m., with no motions made in closed session. Audit binders were also distributed for review.
At its Sept. 10 meeting the Village of Kingsley Village Council voted to enter a closed session at the end of the regular meeting to consider material exempt from discussion or disclosure under Michigan Compiled Laws MCL 15.268(h). The motion to enter closed session was moved by Trustee Weber and seconded by Trustee McPherson and carried with Trustee Weger absent.
The minutes record the council entered closed session at 6:56 p.m. and that no motions were made during the closed session. The regular meeting was reopened at 7:42 p.m. The minutes do not report the subject matter discussed during the closed session beyond the statutory citation authorizing the closed session.
Separately, audit binders were distributed at the meeting for council members to review ahead of the next meeting; the minutes note that binders were passed out but do not show any vote on the audit at this meeting.
Why it matters: entering a closed session under MCL 15.268(h) indicates the council considered material that the law excludes from public disclosure; the minutes record statutory authority and timing but do not disclose subject details. Audit binders were distributed as part of routine oversight and will be reviewed at a future meeting.
