Council votes to enter executive session to discuss real‑estate development negotiations
Summary
The council voted to enter executive session to discuss a real estate development study and contract negotiations, citing West Virginia code section 6‑9‑4‑9 (statutory citation read aloud in meeting). The council invited specific staff and outside parties to the closed session.
Staff asked the council to convene an executive session to discuss a real estate development study and contract negotiations that, if discussed publicly, could adversely affect the city’s financial interests; staff cited a statutory exception.
The mayor read the statutory authority for a closed session as "West Virginia code section 6 9 alpha 4 bravo 9" and the council moved and seconded to enter executive session. Staff identified persons to invite to the closed session, including the consultant and specified city staff.
The meeting record shows the motion to move into executive session and the invited attendees; substantive negotiation details were deferred to the closed session and therefore not discussed on the public record.
