Council certifies conclusion of closed session after roll-call vote
Summary
After reconvening, council members voted to certify that the closed session discussed only the topics announced earlier; the certification motion was moved by the vice mayor and seconded by Councilman Swiftly.
A staff member read statutory language required to certify a closed session and asked members to state whether, in their view, any matters outside the stated purposes had been discussed. Vice Mayor Hill moved to conclude the closed session and to certify, and Councilman Swiftly seconded the motion.
Miss Hill conducted a roll call; council members recorded 'Aye' for the certification motion (including Council member Jones, Council member Myers, Council member Westwood, Council member Smith Lee and the mayor among those recorded), and the motion carried. The presiding official then announced that the closed session had concluded. The publicly available transcript records the certification vote and the statutory language read to the body but does not disclose the substantive content of the closed-session deliberations.
Because the transcript only records the statutory certification and roll-call votes, the record does not provide details about any agreements, negotiations, appointments, or other outcomes that may have been reached during the closed session.
