Council convenes executive session on appraisal district litigation; returns with no action
Summary
The council met in closed executive session under Texas Government Code §551.071 to consult with counsel about pending litigation involving two housing finance corporations and the Dallas central appraisal district; it returned to open session at 8:27 p.m. with no action taken.
The Rowlett City Council convened a closed executive session during Tuesday’s meeting to consult with the city attorney regarding pending litigation and matters involving extraterritorial housing finance corporations.
The mayor read two items into the record before the closed session: (1) City of Rowlett and Garland Independent School District v. Pecos Housing Finance Corporation and Sean Dougherty in his official capacity as chief appraiser of the Dallas Central Appraisal District, cause No. DC-25-07779 in the 130th Judicial District Court of Dallas County, and (2) City of Rowlett and Garland ISD v. Pleasant Housing Finance Corporation and Sean Dougherty, cause No. DC-25-07778 in the 190th Judicial District Court of Dallas County. He also cited consultation under Texas Government Code §551.071, subsection (1), chapter (a) and paragraph (2) regarding regulation of activities by extraterritorial housing finance corporations.
After meeting in the work session room, the council reconvened in open session at 8:27 p.m. and the mayor reported ‘‘no action taken’’ on either executive-session item.
No further details were disclosed in open session consistent with attorney-client privilege and the statutory exemption for consultation with counsel.
