Farmington council votes to enter closed session to discuss property acquisition
Summary
On April 20, 2026, the Farmington City Council voted 4-0 to convene a closed session to discuss property acquisition; the council later reconvened and adjourned the special meeting at 7:29 p.m.
Farmington — The City Council voted unanimously on April 20 to go into a closed session to discuss property acquisition and later reconvened before adjourning.
Councilmember Johnna Balk moved, and Councilmember Maria Taylor supported, a resolution "to convene into closed session for the purpose of property acquisition discussion." A roll-call vote is recorded in the minutes as Yeas: Balk, LaRussa, Parkins, Taylor; the motion carried 4-0. The minutes do not record a statutory citation for the closed-session authority beyond a general meeting notice compliance with Public Act 267 of 1976 cited at the start of the minutes.
After the closed session, Councilmember Kevin Parkins moved, supported by Taylor, to reconvene into the regular meeting; that motion carried unanimously. The special meeting later adjourned at 7:29 p.m. after a motion recorded as made by Steve Schneemann and seconded by Maria Taylor; the minutes mark the adjournment motion carried 4-0. Notably, the roll call earlier in the minutes lists Schneemann as excused, an apparent inconsistency within the written record.
The minutes show the vote to enter closed session and the reconvening motions were unanimous among the four members listed as present in the roll call: Johnna Balk, Joe LaRussa, Kevin Parkins and Maria Taylor.
