Code the board may enter into CLOSED SESSION or Executive Session to

body has received from a business prospect that the governmental body seeks
to have locate, stay, or expand in or near the territory of the governmental body
and with which the governmental body is conducting economic development

cities in the area so that members could have a better idea of what they should
expect as a final product.
