Beachwood council moves into executive session to discuss economic development assistance

The committee of the whole voted to enter an executive session to consider "confidential information related to the specific business strategy of an applicant for economic development assistance," citing Ohio Revised Code chapter 725. The motion was made by the chair and seconded by Council member Stern; the clerk conducted a roll call and all present members answered in the affirmative.

The chair described the executive session as "necessary to protect the interests of the applicant and the possible expenditure of public funds to be made in connection with the economic development project." The clerk read the roll and members who recorded 'yes' included Miss DeBong, Mister Isaacson, Miss Jacobs, Mister Schmidt, Miss Turner, Miss Taylor, Mister Long, Miss Shoy Kent, Mister Smith and Miss Stern. The chair then adjourned the executive session later in the meeting.
