Nokomis council approves motion to meet in closed session, discusses negotiations and property interest
Summary
At its April 14 meeting the Nokomis City Council voted to enter closed session to discuss police negotiations and potential real‑property acquisition; the council later voted to exit closed session without recorded public action.
The City Council of the City of Nokomis voted on April 14, 2025, to go into closed session to consider collective bargaining, the purchase or lease of real property, and the setting of sale or lease prices under the Illinois Open Meetings Act. Commissioner Morris moved the motion at 8:07 P.M.; Commissioner O’Malley seconded, and Commissioners Morris, Glenn and O’Malley and Mayor Goldsmith voted yes. Commissioner Arkebauer was absent.
The motion cited statutory authority under the Illinois Open Meetings Act (5 ILCS 120/2(c)(2), (c)(5) and (c)(6)). During the closed session the council discussed two substantive matters: the status of police negotiations and interest in a particular residential lot. The council voted to exit the closed session at 8:18 P.M.; the exit motion was made by Commissioner Morris and seconded by Commissioner O’Malley and carried with the same vote tallies.
