Council member moves to add property discussion to closed session, amends motion to cover agenda items 13(a)–(c)

A council member proposed amending a motion to specifically address agenda items 13(a), (b) and (c) and to move a property matter into the meeting's closed session. The proposal was seconded by Kathy, who identified herself by her first name in the transcript, and several members signaled assent during a roll call.

The change was introduced when a participant asked for a motion and said they would “amend my motion section” to cover items 13(a)–(c). Kathy seconded the amendment. During a recorded roll call, the transcript captures affirmative responses from “Council member Pena,” “Council member Griffith,” “Mayor Bremes,” “Council member Harris” and “Council member Hawkes.” After the roll call, participants confirmed they were moving into closed session; one participant said, “We’re going into closed.”

The recorded exchange focused on procedural adjustments: highlighting the items on the agenda, noting the need to amend closed-session reasons, and confirming the council’s intent to discuss the property behind closed doors. The transcript does not include the full wording of the motions, the name of the original mover, or the complete membership vote tally beyond the named 'yes' responses. It also does not record any substantive discussion of the property or the closed-session justification in this excerpt.

The council proceeded into closed session; the excerpt ends as a participant begins to say they “would like to discuss” a matter but the remark is cut off in the provided transcript.
