Chair moves to enter executive session; motion passes 3-1

The Chair moved that the meeting go into an executive session, saying, "Of executive session." The motion was seconded and the Chair called for a vote.

Committee member Mister Benton voted "Aye." Committee member Mister Merrill voted "Aye." Committee member Missus Lewis voted "Aye." A subsequent "No" vote was recorded; the transcript does not identify who cast that No vote. The Chair recited a reference for the action as "2 6 dash 5 7 2." The motion passed with three Aye votes and one No vote.

An executive session is a closed-door portion of a public meeting used by many governing bodies to discuss matters such as personnel, legal advice, or real-estate negotiations; the transcript does not record any discussion of the subject matter to be addressed during the executive session. The transcript also does not specify who moved or seconded the motion by name, nor does it record any further procedural steps or a schedule for returning to open session.

No statutes, ordinances, or other legal authorities were cited in the recorded segments. The meeting record in the transcript is limited to the motion, the vote call (including the reference string "2 6 dash 5 7 2"), and the roll-call responses that produced the 3-1 outcome.
