A closed session of Medicine Hat city council that started before Monday’s regular meeting and was extended into the next day came to a close without any open business, officials confirmed to CHAT News on Wednesday.

The closed meeting — where members of council discuss sensitive items out of the public’s view — was adjourned ahead of the open meeting Monday and reconvened afterward.

The closed session came to an end just before 9 p.m. Monday night and was scheduled to start again Tuesday afternoon.
