The story
Clarkesville's city council placed an executive session on its April 27 agenda and work session to discuss or vote on authorizing negotiations to purchase, dispose of, or lease property, citing a Georgia open-meetings exemption for real estate matters.
At the April 27 meeting, the council voted 5-0 to hold the executive session for that purpose. The vote authorized entering the closed session itself; minutes do not record any decision on specific property terms.
