Governing body recesses to executive session to consult counsel on pending or imminent litigation
Summary
At a Sept. 22, 2025 special session, the presiding officer moved and the governing body voted unanimously to recess into an executive session under Charter section 2.101 to consult with legal counsel about disputes that are the subject of pending or imminent court action.
At a special session Sept. 22, 2025, the presiding officer moved that the meeting recess into an executive session "for matters pertaining to conferences with an attorney for counsel concerning disputes involving counsel that are the subject of pending or imminent court action, Charter section 2.101." The motion was seconded and passed on a roll-call vote, with all members present voting yes.
The move to executive session removed the matter from the public record; the transcript records no substantive discussion of the underlying dispute in open session. The agenda item cited Charter section 2.101 as the authority for closing the meeting to the public to consult with counsel about litigation that is pending or imminent.
Roll call recorded the following affirmative votes: Vice President Teeter; Miss Vermillion; Mister Carrier; President Catone; Mister Betts; Miss Hale; and Miss Cole. The transcript does not identify who made or seconded the motion by name; it records only that the motion was made, a second was offered and the roll call taken. The presiding officer then recessed the open session.
This article is based solely on the meeting transcript excerpt; no additional details about the subject of the litigation, expected duration of the executive session, or any follow-up direction appear in the public portion of the transcript.
