Council votes to recess into closed session citing Utah statute for litigation, real estate and personnel matters
Summary
The council voted to recess to a closed session under Utah State Code Annotated 52-4-205 to discuss pending or imminent litigation, real property transactions and matters of character/competence or health of an individual; the motion carried and a subset of staff and counsel were asked to stay.
The Herriman City Council recessed its work meeting Wednesday into a closed session, citing Utah State Code Annotated 52-4-205. A council member made a motion “to temporarily recess city council meeting and go into closed session for the following purposes as provided by Utah State code annotated 52 dash 4 dash 205” to discuss pending or reasonably imminent litigation, strategy regarding purchase/exchange/lease of real property and development-related financing proposals, and matters of character, professional competence or physical/mental health of an individual. The chair said the motion carried and listed the officials who should remain for the closed session.
The motion was made on the record and the chair confirmed the statutory bases for the closed meeting. No vote tally was recorded in the work meeting transcript and the council moved into closed session following the announcement; the public portion of the work meeting was concluded.
Next steps: council entered closed session; any public action or votes related to the topics discussed will be reflected in future public minutes as required by law.
