CHAMPAIGN – The city council did not violate state law when it went into closed session nearly two years ago to discuss litigation and land acquisition, even though the council did not hold a roll-call vote or include the closed session on a meeting agenda, the 4th District Appellate Court has ruled.
In a recently released order, the three-judge appellate court unanimously affirmed a lower- court decision that the council did not violate the Open Meetings Act when it went into closed session on Nov. 21, 2006.
