At the end of the May 6 meeting, council moved into executive session to discuss a potential property acquisition.
The chair made a motion invoking Ohio Revised Code section 121.22(G)(2) — which allows public bodies to meet in executive session to consider the purchase of property for public purposes — and the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. Council indicated it would not return to open session.
Why it matters: Executive-session discussions of property acquisition are routine municipal business but may precede a public action such as a purchase agreement or land use step that would later come before council in open session.
Next steps: Any formal action or resolution related to a purchase would be brought back in open session for a public vote.
