Norwalk planning commission adjourns to executive session over two pending lawsuits

The presiding officer of the Planning and Zoning Commission of the City of Norwalk moved the commission into executive session on two pending court cases and to discuss the process of appointment and management, and the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.

The commission listed two litigation matters on the agenda by name and case number. The first was identified as involving a party named Turzier; the transcript reads “Turzier and Bridals versus the Planning and Zoning Commission of the City of Norwalk.” The commission also read two docket-style identifiers aloud for the matters: “HHD-CV-24-6182559-S” and “HHD-CV-22-6182560-S.” The presiding officer said the group would “adjourn to executive session to discuss the process of appointment and management.”

Commission members voted to move into executive session after a member seconded the motion and members present responded “Aye.” No individual roll-call vote or tally by name was recorded in the available transcript. The meeting then proceeded into the closed session.

The transcript does not provide further detail on the substance of the lawsuits, the identities beyond the names read aloud, or any actions taken during the executive session. The agenda-item announcement and subsequent motion to convene the closed session are the only recorded formal actions in the public portion of the record.
