Boardman council moves into executive session to negotiate real property after TSP hearing
Summary
After closing public testimony, the council convened an executive session under ORS 192.660(2)(e) to deliberate real property negotiations related to transportation projects; the public Zoom meeting link was closed and the mayor stated no decisions may be made in executive session.
Following the public hearing and council actions on the TSP, Mayor Kiefer announced the council would meet in executive session under state statute to conduct deliberations with persons designated to negotiate real property transactions.
Mayor Kiefer read the executive session authority aloud: "Boardman City Council will now meet in executive session pursuant to ORS 192.660(2)(e) which allows the council to meet in executive session to consider real estate." He instructed the public Zoom meeting link would be closed and said representatives of the news media and designated staff may attend the executive session in person but are directed not to report on deliberations. He reminded the public that no decisions may be made in executive session; the council paused the public meeting for a session expected to last less than 30 minutes.
The transcript records that, after returning from executive session, the mayor announced no decision had been made publicly at that time. Any follow-up would be handled according to statutory and administrative procedures.
