Board of Commissioners enters closed session to discuss landfill lawsuit

The St. Clair County Board of Commissioners convened for a special meeting on February 26, 2025, at 3 PM. The meeting began with the Pledge of Allegiance, followed by a roll call of the commissioners, all of whom were present.

The agenda included an opportunity for citizens to address the board, but no public comments were made. The board then moved to new business, where a motion was introduced to enter a closed session. This session was intended to review a written legal opinion from legal counsel regarding a pending class action lawsuit related to litigation at the landfill, which is permissible under the Open Meetings Act (OMA).

The motion to enter closed session was supported and passed unanimously. Following this, the board confirmed that they would adjourn after the closed session. The meeting concluded with a second motion to go into closed session and adjourn, which was also approved by all present.

Overall, the meeting was brief, focusing primarily on legal matters concerning ongoing litigation, with no public input or additional business discussed.
