Council votes to enter executive session on property-transfer economic development matter
Summary
The council moved, seconded and voted unanimously to recess into executive session to discuss an economic-development property transfer; the council later returned and reported no votes or polls were taken and adjourned without action.
The McAlester City Council recessed into an executive session after a motion and roll-call vote to discuss "economic development related to the transfer of property," citing a statutory basis stated on the record. "Item tonight is executive session," the clerk said when announcing the agenda item, and Councilor Stone moved to enter executive session with Councilor Gilmore seconding the motion.
The clerk conducted a roll-call vote; Councilor Stone, Councilor Gilmore, Councilor Woodley, Councilor Brooks, Belt Wright, Councilor Beatty and the Mayor each answered in the affirmative and the presiding official announced the council was entering executive session. The meeting record cites "bridal 25, section 3 0 7, the local state statutes" as the legal basis as stated orally during the announcement; the phrase in the transcript appears garbled and is reported here as spoken on the record.
After convening in closed session, the council later returned to open session. The clerk stated, "No votes or polls were taken," and then noted there was no action to report. The meeting concluded with the clerk saying, "We have no action, and we are adjourned."
