Chair moves council into executive session to discuss potential property transaction; returns with no action

The chair called the council into a closed executive session to consider a potential real-estate matter, citing state law. "So hold hold executive session to deliberate the potential purchase exchange, lease or value of property pursuant to section 5 5 1.072 of the Texas government code," the chair said when reading the agenda item and asking whether members needed further detail before a vote.

Council members then moved to adjourn into executive session and the chair reported a 7-yes vote to enter the closed session. After the closed-door meeting, the chair said the body would "adjourn executive session and take action as necessary as a result of executive session," and then reported, "There is no action to take," indicating the council returned with no formal decision on the property matter.

Earlier in the meeting a participant led an opening prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance before the council addressed the item. The chair later moved to adjourn the meeting; a participant identified 'Steve' as having made the first motion and the chair asked 'Jessica' to second, with the transcript recording that Jessica seconded. Members responded 'Aye' when the chair called the voice vote to adjourn.

The transcript records the statutory citation the chair read aloud; the Texas Government Code provision cited (Section 551.072) governs closed-session discussions about real property. The council did not record any formal votes or contract actions stemming from the executive session during the open meeting.
