Albany County Planning and Zoning Commission votes to enter executive session citing state statute

Following approval of the DEQ letter, the chair moved that the Albany County Planning and Zoning Commission go into an executive session citing a state statute. The transcript records the chair's motion to "go into executive session pursuant to the outwiring statute 1 dash 6 1.6 dash 4 dash 4 0 5 a I x" (language as spoken in the meeting transcript appears garbled).

The chair made the motion and members seconded; the chair called for a voice vote and the motion carried after members voiced assent. The transcript records audible "aye" responses but does not contain a formal roll-call listing each member's recorded vote by name. Commission members indicated that a presentation and training would occur during the executive session.

Because the statute citation is not clearly rendered in the transcript, the exact legal authority cited should be confirmed with meeting staff or the posted agenda before relying on it for legal or procedural conclusions. The meeting then proceeded to move into executive session as recorded in the minutes.
