Summary

At a Syracuse City Council study session the council voted to enter an executive session 'for legal advice.' The motion was made from the presiding officer and the body recessed to private session; no vote tally was recorded on the public transcript.

The Syracuse City Council moved into an executive session to receive legal advice after the presiding officer made the motion. Chair (S2) said, 'So motion to move into executive session.' The motion was repeated and the council proceeded; participants indicated they "shall be right back."

The study-session transcript records the request for closed-door consultation but does not record a roll-call vote or the legal matter's subject. The recorded action was procedural: the council recessed into executive session for legal counsel, with no further public deliberation captured in the transcript.
