Council to recess into executive session to negotiate real property transactions

The chair called the council to order and said the body would recess its public meeting to "convene a closed executive session to conduct deliberations with persons designated by the governing body to negotiate real property transactions," attributing the authority to statutes recited in the transcript.

The announcement came after brief informal remarks among attendees and the Pledge of Allegiance. In the meeting transcript the chair stated: "council will recess, the open public meeting, convene a closed executive session to conduct deliberations with persons designated by the governing body to negotiate real property transactions, r s 1 9 2 6 6 0 2 e." The chair also cited "RS 1 9 2 6 6 0 4" and asked that media and other attendees not disclose the closed-session discussion.

The transcript records no formal motion or vote on the executive session at the time of the announcement. The chair characterized the meeting agenda as "very packed" and led members in the Pledge of Allegiance before the recess was declared. A participant made light remarks about coffee during pre-meeting conversation, but the substantive action recorded in the transcript is the chair's announcement that the council would enter a closed executive session to discuss real property negotiations.

No further details about the properties under negotiation, the designees who would participate in the executive session, or the expected duration of the closed session were provided in the transcript. The meeting record shows the chair explicitly requested that the media and other attendees not disclose the closed-session deliberations; the transcript does not record any vote or public decision resulting from that announcement.

Next procedural steps were not recorded in the provided transcript segments; the transcript ends after the chair's announcement and the media nondisclosure request.
