Johns Creek mayor leads council into executive session at Jan. 12 work session

The Johns Creek mayor called the City Council's work session to order Monday, Jan. 12, at about 5:05 p.m. and announced that the next agenda item was an executive session.

"The next item is executive session," the mayor said, and then asked for a second after the motion was raised. A second was made verbally and the mayor thanked "Chris." Asked for discussion, the mayor then called for those in favor; a voice response indicated approval and the mayor announced, "We are adjourned together executive session."

The transcript records no formal roll-call tally, no named mover for the motion to enter executive session and no public statement of the reason for the closed session. The council moved into the executive session immediately after the voice vote; no additional public business was recorded in the transcript.

Executive sessions are closed portions of municipal meetings used under state law for limited topics such as certain personnel, legal, or real-estate discussions; the mayor did not state which of those, if any, applied here. The public record in the transcript contains only the procedural motion, the verbal second, and the mayor's announcement of adjournment to executive session.

No further public action or scheduling detail for returning to open session was recorded in the provided transcript.
