Council convenes executive session to discuss property purchase; returns and proceeds with grant resolution
Summary
During a July 28 special meeting the Wallingford Town Council entered executive session under cited statutes to discuss a property purchase, then returned to approve a resolution to allow the mayor to execute a DEEP grant agreement tied to 138 Williams Road.
Early in the special meeting the council moved and voted to enter executive session “pursuant to general statutes 1 dash 206 d and 1 dash 2 2 5 f for discussion with respect to the purchase of property,” a council member said. The room was cleared and the council conducted the closed-session discussion.
After the council reconvened, a motion was made and seconded to come out of executive session and that motion passed. The public portion of the meeting then continued with a resolution tied to the property purchase and grant funding.
The transcript records the statutes cited in the motion but the numeric citations were not clearly enunciated in the public record; those statute references should be verified against official state code if precise legal authority is required. The council did not disclose the contents of the executive-session discussion in the public transcript; following the closed session the council approved a resolution authorizing the mayor to execute a DEEP grant agreement related to the town’s purchase of 138 Williams Road.
