Council authorizes mayor to negotiate water‑account settlement after executive session
Summary
After a closed executive session on pending or potential litigation, Issaquah council voted to authorize the mayor to negotiate and execute a settlement for a specific water account under terms acceptable to the mayor and city attorney.
Following a 15‑minute executive session July 21 to discuss pending or potential litigation, the Issaquah City Council returned to open session and authorized the mayor to negotiate and execute a settlement agreement related to water account 303458 on terms acceptable to the mayor and the city attorney.
The motion, made in open session after the executive session, directed city staff to finalize a settlement consistent with the legal advice provided in closed session. The council approved the motion by voice vote; the clerk recorded the motion as passing 6–1.
Because the discussion occurred in executive session under the state Open Public Meetings Act, the council did not disclose the details discussed in closed session. The motion does not disclose settlement terms; the authorization instructs the mayor and city attorney to finalize terms and execute a settlement for the specified account.
