Council Going Behind Closed Doors 🚪

Tonight's Rossland Council meeting will pause public viewing to discuss confidential land matters. This closed session is legally required when discussing property deals that could harm the city's negotiating position if made public.

Why the Secrecy is Necessary

  • 🏢 Acquisition - City considering buying land or buildings

  • 💰 Disposition - City considering selling municipal property

  • ⚖️ Expropriation - Forced purchase for public projects

Why the Secrecy is Necessary

  • 🤐 Public discussion could drive up prices or harm negotiations

  • 📋 Community Charter legally requires these discussions be private

What questions do you have about closed Council sessions?

📅 October 20, 2025 - Council meeting at Rossland Council Chambers (1920 Third Avenue), immediately following Public Hearing

  • Any decisions made may be announced when legally possible
  • Watch for future agenda items related to land transactions
