What this means now
The story
The February 2 Clarkesville City Council agenda listed two items for a closed-door executive session: one on negotiations to purchase, dispose of or lease property, and one on the appointment, employment, compensation, discipline, dismissal or evaluation of a public officer or employee.
Council voted 5-0 to go into executive session to discuss the property negotiations and the personnel matter, citing the state open-meetings law exemptions that allow such topics to be discussed privately.
