Alders send TID 7 funding request and cell-tower lease to closed session

Chair opened the meeting and announced that two items would be considered in closed session: a TID 7 funding request and ground-lease terms for a cell tower.

"We have 2 orders of business, and they are both in closed session," the Chair said, then read the items as "request for TID 7 funding to support residential and short term rental development" and "discussion regarding ground lease terms for cell tower located along 6th Avenue, Parcel 23251 Dash 2432.2000." The transcript records those descriptions verbatim but does not capture substantive discussion in open session.

A committee member moved that the body go into closed session and the clerk took a roll-call vote. The transcript shows "Aye" recorded for Alder Truhart, Alder Tolman, Alder Schaffer and Alder McGuire; the Chair then stated, "We are in closed session." The record does not identify which alder made the motion or second by name beyond the voices labeled in the transcript, so the article attributes the motion to a "committee member" and vote readings to the clerk as recorded in the meeting audio.

Because the matters were deliberated in closed session, the public-facing transcript contains no details of staff recommendations, dollar amounts, lease terms or any formal motion language tied specifically to TID 7 or the cell-tower parcel. The open record shows only that the items were placed into closed session and that a closed-session vote later approved an item; the transcript does not specify which of the two items (or both) that vote concerned.
