At the conclusion of the public hearing, the Montgomery County Council voted to enter a closed session to discuss a proposed economic-development matter.
The Clerk introduced agenda item four, citing the Maryland Code, General Provisions Article, section 3-305(b)(4) — to consider a proposal for a business or industrial organization to locate, expand, or remain in the state — and section 3-305(b)(7) — to consult with counsel to obtain legal advice. Council member Don Lucid moved to meet in closed session; Council member Katz seconded the motion. The Clerk asked those in favor to raise their hands, and the motion passed. The council scheduled the closed session in the third-floor conference room at the time announced by the Clerk.
The open portion of the council meeting then adjourned; no further details about the potential grant or the business were disclosed in open session.
Next steps: the closed session will proceed as announced; any public action or vote on grants would be subject to the county’s public meeting and disclosure rules.
