After approving the agenda, the board moved into a closed session under Iowa Code 21.5(1)(j) to "discuss the purchase or sale of a particular real estate, but only when premature disclosure could be reasonably expected to increase the price the board would have to pay for the property, or in case of a sale reduce the price the board could receive for the property." Nicole Myer made the motion to enter closed session; Jillian Hansen seconded. The roll call recorded ayes from Dave Bruellman, Jillian Hansen, Nicole Myer, Lisa Traub and Dawn Schmidt; no nays were recorded and the motion carried.
