Council enters executive session to discuss potential settlement in Siad Hasnay claim
Summary
At the end of the Jan. 27 meeting the council voted to go into executive session to discuss the potential settlement of a claim brought by Siad Hasnay against the City of White Plains; the motion to enter executive session was moved, seconded and carried by voice vote.
The Common Council voted Jan. 27 to enter executive session to discuss the potential settlement of a pending claim by Siad Hasnay against the City of White Plains.
Why it matters: Settlement discussions and litigation strategy are confidential and typically occur in executive session under New York law; the council's motion closed that portion of the meeting to the public.
At the close of the public session a council member moved "we go into executive session" to discuss the potential settlement of the claim of Siad Hasnay versus the city. A second was recorded, and the chair called for the vote; the motion carried by voice vote.
The transcript ends with the executive session motion and does not record actions taken during the closed portion of the meeting.
