The governing body voted unanimously to go into executive session to discuss personnel matters, real estate and litigation.
The clerk asked for a motion "to go into executive session for the purpose of personnel, real estate, and litigation," and the motion was moved and seconded, the presiding official said. The chair identified the mover as Commissioner Lonnie Wimbley. The clerk then called the roll; Commissioner Clark, Miss Scott, Mister Windley, Miss Pulliam, Mister Johnson, Mister Guilford and Mayor Johnson each answered in the affirmative. The clerk declared the vote unanimous and the motion passed.
The move to a closed session was presented as a procedural step to discuss personnel, real estate and litigation in private. When the body returned to the public record later in the meeting, the clerk reported there were "no motions coming out of that executive" session and no formal actions were announced.
No legislation, ordinance numbers, contracts or budget items were debated or adopted in the public portion of this special called meeting. The meeting record references an affidavit related to the executive session; the clerk noted administrative paperwork but did not report any directive, appointment, or binding decision resulting from the closed discussion.
The meeting proceeded to brief administrative acknowledgements and expressions of thanks before the public portion concluded.
