Board moves into executive session on employment and property, then reconvenes and adjourns

The Chair moved the board into executive session to consider the employment or compensation of a public employee and to discuss the purchase or sale of property, citing that premature disclosure would give an unfair competitive or bargaining advantage. The Chair recited the rationale: “consider the employment or compensation of a public employer official and to consider the purchase of property for public purposes or the sale of property, competitive bidding, and premature disclosure of information would give an unfair competitive or bargaining advantage to a person whose personal ... interest is adverse to the general public interest.”

After a motion and second, the Clerk called the roll. Mrs. Bennett, Mr. De Dominic, Mr. Inks and Mrs. Statz voted yes and the motion to move into executive session passed, 4-0. The board later reconvened in open session; the Chair announced they were out of executive session and the meeting proceeded to adjournment. The motion to adjourn likewise passed by roll call, 4-0.

No additional public details of the executive-session discussions were disclosed in the open meeting minutes recorded in the transcript.
