Idaho Falls City Council convened a special meeting on June 5, 2025, primarily to discuss a real estate purchase in a closed executive session. The meeting was called to order after a brief roll call confirmed a quorum of council members present.

The special meeting was necessary due to the timing of the notice, which was issued after the previous meeting had already adjourned. According to state law, special meetings require only 24 hours of notice, allowing the council to address urgent matters privately.

Mayor's remarks highlighted the importance of confidentiality in real estate transactions, noting that public disclosure of details could inflate prices and ultimately burden taxpayers. The council moved swiftly to enter the executive session, which is permitted under Idaho law for specific circumstances, including personnel matters and legal strategies.

The motion to enter the executive session was unanimously approved, with no further actions planned following the session. The council will not reconvene in public after the meeting, emphasizing the private nature of the discussions regarding the real estate acquisition.
