Jefferson meets behind doors to discuss property acquisition

Wednesday, March 30. 2011
Jefferson leaders continue to meet behind closed doors to discuss land acquisition.

The city council met in closed session Monday night for 30 minutes to discuss property-related issues. No action was taken after the closed session.

Two weeks ago, the council met in closed session for 45 minutes to discuss land acquisition.

Isn't this illegal? Any decisions made as a result of these meetings could be nullified in court just like it happened with the Arcade landfill issue years ago.

Michael,

You just explained to yourself why it isn't illegal.

They're not making a decision behind closed doors. They're discussing the potential decision behind closed doors.

The alternative would be to do what Pendergrass did and just meet at Tolbert's HOUSE to discuss everything illegally.

Discussing an issue behind closed doors at the time and location that you typically meet every other week is pretty legal I'd say...

I'm sure Ronnie Hopkins appreciates your vote of confidence in his abilities to keep the Jefferson City Council legal.
