During the retreat, Councilmember Tawny Knuteson-Boyd moved to enter an executive (closed) session to discuss the purchase, exchange or lease of real property and pending or reasonably imminent litigation. Councilmember Colin Topper seconded the motion and the council voted unanimously to convene the closed session; Mayor Joette Langianese convened the session at 1:52 p.m.
At 2:50 p.m. Councilmember Topper moved to end the closed session; Knuteson-Boyd seconded and the motion again passed unanimously. Mayor Langianese ended the closed session at 2:50 p.m. and then adjourned the meeting. The minutes record no formal votes or decisions from within the closed session in the public record.
Why it matters: Executive sessions are used for confidential deliberations on real-property negotiations and litigation strategy; the public record shows the motions, timing and unanimous approval to enter and exit the closed session but does not disclose the substance discussed.
