Rio Communities council approves letter of intent to purchase real property after closed-session review

The City of Rio Communities Council approved a letter of intent to purchase real property following a closed executive session on Feb. 27, 2026.

Councilor Nelson moved to approve the letter of intent and Councilor Gordon seconded. Councilors Melendez, Nelson and Gordon voted yes; Councilor Marquez was recorded absent. The motion passed by the members present; the transcript does not record the property, seller, price or other contract terms.

The action followed an executive session called to discuss “the purchase, addition or disposal of real property or water rights,” a closed-session authority cited on the record by the mayor. Mayor Remol later stated on the record that the executive session “was held and no other matters were discussed during that time.” The council returned to open session at 7:50 p.m.

The council handled only one substantive agenda item at the special business meeting: consideration and vote on the letter of intent. The meeting minutes and the transcript provide no further details about the parcel or financing; those details were not specified on the public record.

The meeting adjourned at 7:51 p.m.
