Council members clash over executive session transparency
During a recent Oro Valley Town Council meeting, a contentious discussion arose regarding a potential litigation item on the agenda. Council member Solomon expressed concerns about the lack of information available to the council, prompting a motion to remove the item from the agenda. This motion was seconded by the vice mayor, leading to a debate among council members about the appropriateness of discussing the matter in an executive session.

Council member Nicholson indicated that he had received new information that influenced his perspective on the issue but felt constrained in what he could disclose publicly. He suggested that further discussions could occur with the town's attorneys outside of the meeting. However, other council members, including Solomon and Green, voiced their apprehensions, suggesting that some members might have access to information that others did not, which they deemed inappropriate.

The vice mayor and several council members agreed that more information was necessary before deciding whether to proceed with an executive session. Ultimately, the council voted to continue the discussion of the litigation matter to a future meeting, with the motion passing 4-3. The executive session will be rescheduled for a later date determined by the agenda committee.

The meeting concluded with the council members preparing to transition into the regular session, emphasizing the importance of transparency and collective decision-making in matters of public interest.
