Council approves litigation against Platinum Apparatus LLC and Troy Price

The Vinita City Council has taken decisive action regarding ongoing litigation during their recent meeting on February 20, 2025. The council voted unanimously to approve legal counsel for filing a lawsuit against Platinum Apparatus LLC and Troy Price, signaling a proactive approach to address the issues at hand.

The decision came after a brief discussion under item 17 of the agenda, where council members expressed their support for the legal action. The roll call vote confirmed the council's commitment, with all present members voting in favor, while two members were absent.

In addition to the litigation decision, the council also returned to open session after a closed executive meeting, confirming that only the items listed on the agenda were discussed, with no votes cast during that time. Notably, Councilman John Swift was absent from the executive session.

The meeting concluded shortly after the litigation vote, with a motion to adjourn passing without opposition. This swift action reflects the council's focus on addressing economic and legal challenges facing the community, ensuring that Vinita remains proactive in its governance and development efforts.
