Biloxi City Council met in a closed session to discuss litigation involving Maison LLC and returned to open session with no formal action taken.

The council voted to go into executive session “for the purpose of examining the necessity to go in the executive session to discuss a dispute? Litigation with, Maison LLC,” a motion that was moved and seconded on the record. Councilmember Tisdale moved the motion and Councilmember Creel seconded; the chair announced the motion carried and the council entered executive session. After the closed session, the council reconvened and the chair stated, “no action was taken.”

Why it matters: executive sessions are used to discuss privileged matters such as pending litigation and are permitted under state law; the council complied by announcing the subject and later reporting that no action resulted from the closed meeting.

Next steps: the council did not announce any follow‑up action during the open session and stated that further public action would be taken if and when necessary.
