Carroll County court moves to executive session to discuss litigation; meeting later adjourned
Summary
During the March 25 meeting the court moved to enter an executive session to discuss litigation; the motion was seconded and the meeting later concluded with an adjournment motion.
The Carroll County fiscal court moved to enter an executive session to discuss litigation during its March 25 meeting. A motion was made and seconded to go into executive session for litigation.
The request was made on the public record: “This time, I need a motion to go into executive session,” according to the meeting transcript. A participant then said, “So move for litigation,” and another said, “For litigation. Second.” The transcript does not show additional public discussion of the litigation topic while the meeting was in open session.
After the executive-session motion and second, the meeting record includes a later motion to adjourn; the final recorded words in the provided transcript are a motion to adjourn and a member saying, “So moved.” The transcript does not include deliberations that occurred during any closed session, nor does it record any vote tally for the executive-session authorization in the excerpt provided.
Because executive sessions are closed by statute or local rule, discussion details and any legal strategy discussed during a closed session are not included in the public transcript excerpt provided.
