The California Attorney General (AG) recently released an official opinion further defining when the Brown Act permits discussion of real-estate negotiations within a closed session. Specifically, the AG explained that the real-estate negotiation exception to open meeting laws
allows for discussion of:
- The amount of consideration that the local agency is willing to pay or accept in exchange for real property rights to be acquired or transferred.
- The form, manner, and timing of how that consideration will be paid.
- Items that are essential to arriving at the authorized price and payment terms.
