The Board of Aldermen met in a special session Thursday, Aug. 7, 2025, entered closed session under RSMo. §610.021(2) to discuss real estate and later approved Resolution 2025-41, which the board described during the meeting as involving a "special warranty."
The matter moved quickly: the board approved the meeting agenda, voted to convene a closed session citing RSMo. §610.021(2) (the Missouri statute authorizing closed meetings for certain real-estate matters), took the closed session, returned to open session and approved Resolution 2025-41. The meeting record indicates no members of the public were present during the special session.
The closed-session vote to meet under RSMo. §610.021(2) was recorded by roll call as unanimous. Roll-call responses recorded in the transcript were: Alderman Earhart (aye), Alderman Gallagher (yes), Alderman Willem Gruenewald (yes), Alderman Jarrett (yes), Alderman Poland (aye) and Alderman Wells (aye). The transcript does not record further detail about the real-estate matter discussed in closed session.
After returning to open session, the board moved to approve "Resolution 2025-41 with the special warranty," and members voiced approval. The meeting record does not contain a roll-call vote for that resolution; the transcript reflects a motion, a second and voice votes of "aye," after which the presiding officer stated the resolution was approved.
The transcript does not specify the full legal form of the "special warranty" referenced at the meeting (for example, if it was a special warranty deed or another instrument), nor does it record any conditions, amounts, parcels or parties related to the real-estate discussion. The record also does not state any next steps, required filings, or an effective date for the resolution.
Meeting minutes show the session adjourned immediately after the resolution vote. No public comment or additional background on the resolution was included in the transcript.
Because the substantive real-estate discussion occurred in closed session, this article reports only what the open-record portions of the meeting disclose: the invocation of RSMo. §610.021(2), a unanimous roll-call to enter closed session, and the approval of Resolution 2025-41 on return to open session.
