Summary
The council voted to go into executive session to discuss the purchase, sale, lease or market value of real property and preliminary negotiations involving trade or commerce where disclosure could harm the city's competitive position; the mayor stated the council would not return to deliberate or vote on matters discussed there.
The presiding official moved to adjourn into executive session to discuss matters including the purchase, sale, exchange, lease or market value of real property and to consider preliminary negotiations involving trade or commerce in which disclosure outside the executive session could be detrimental to the city's competitive position.
