Board votes to enter closed session to consider real property purchase under Open Meetings Act
Summary
The Board voted unanimously to adjourn to closed session under Section 8(d) of the Open Meetings Act to consider the purchase of real property; the board reconvened later the same evening with no public details recorded in the minutes.
At its May 12 special meeting the Board of Education voted to adjourn to closed session "for the purpose of considering the purchase of real property per Section 8(d) of the Open Meetings Act." The motion was made by Andrew Yockey, seconded by Jeremy Steele and carried 5–0; President Amber Herman adjourned to closed session at 6:48 p.m.
The minutes record that the board later returned to open session by a motion made by Jennifer Gautsche and seconded by Paul Arlt, also carried 5–0. The minutes do not disclose any details of the real property discussion, consistent with the statutory exemption cited.
The recorded motion cites the statutory basis for nonpublic deliberation (Section 8(d) of the Open Meetings Act). The minutes do not indicate any formal votes or decisions resulting from the closed session; they record only the motion to recess, the statutory citation, and the subsequent reconvening of the public meeting.
