The new City Council has had a lot of firsts in recent days.

On Tuesday, council members took up their first order of business and elected a president and a president pro tem.

On Wednesday, the council met as the Utilities Board for the first time.

And during its first informal meeting on Monday, the council is scheduled to meet in closed executive session for the first time.

According to the agenda, the issues “to be discussed involve determining positions relative to matters that may be subject to negotiations, developing strategy for negotiations and instructing negotiators, as well as legal advice from the City Attorney’s Office.”

They include:

The purchase, acquisition, lease, transfer or sale of any real, personal, or other property interest regarding Vincent Drive

An economic development project involving the electronic industry

Pending litigation regarding stormwater

Council President Scott Hente will poll council members to determine whether at least two-thirds of the members present agree to meet behind closed doors. If consent to is not given, the items may be discussed in open session or withdrawn from consideration.
