Chair moves meeting back into open session; motion passes
Summary
The presiding officer asked for a motion to return to regular session; a motion was moved and seconded and the body passed the motion by voice vote. The chair then announced, “We’re now in open session.”
The chair asked members to move the meeting back into regular (open) session, and a member responded, “So moved.” Another member seconded the motion and the body conducted a voice vote. The chair declared the motion passed and said, “We're now in open session.”
The item was procedural: members completed the motion with a yea/nay voice vote and the chair confirmed the change in session status. During the same sequence the chair also introduced an item described in the transcript as “the closed session on August 25,” which likewise drew a motion, a second and a voice vote the chair announced as passed. The transcript does not specify whether that second motion approved, ratified or merely acknowledged the previously held closed session on Aug. 25.
The chair then asked whether there was any further business; no additional substantive matters are recorded in the provided transcript.
