Board holds closed session on attorney‑client matter, approves response to City about water main
Summary
The authority entered a closed session to discuss an attorney‑client privileged communication and later approved a response letter to the City of Manistee on a water‑main matter. Both votes were unanimous on recorded roll calls.
The Manistee Blacker Airport Authority voted to enter a closed session at 9:33 a.m. pursuant to MCL 15.268(1)(h) to discuss an attorney‑client privileged communication from Cohl, Stoker & Toskey, P.C. dated April 7, 2026. The motion to enter closed session was moved by Karen Goodman and supported by George Becker; roll‑call vote was Yeas: 7, Nays: 0.
After the closed meeting, the board voted to return to open session and then approved a response letter to the City of Manistee regarding the water main on a motion by Mr. Becker and support from Ms. Kaminski; that motion carried by roll call (Yeas: 7, Nays: 0). The closed-session vote and the subsequent approval of the response letter were recorded in the minutes; the closed-session motion cites the specific Michigan statute authorizing the closed deliberation.
No further details about the attorney‑client communication were disclosed in the public minutes; the board documented the statutory basis for the closed session and listed who remained for the closed meeting as required by the statute.
