The mayor and members of the City Council voted to move into executive session under Denver Revised Municipal Code (DRMC) 2‑34(a), sections 3, 6 and 7, to receive legal advice and discuss potential settlement of pending litigation against the city.

The council president asked for a motion to enter executive session "pursuant to DRMC 2 34 a sections 3, 6, and 7 for the purpose of receiving legal advice and discussing potential settlement of pending litigation against the city." A council member moved the motion; the clerk called the vote and members responded "Aye." The council president declared that the body would enter executive session and thanked members of the public who had joined online or in person.

The transcript does not record the mover's or seconder's name for the motion, nor a roll‑call tally; the chair indicated unanimous consent by voice vote and no opposition was recorded in the public transcript. The executive session was entered immediately after the public presentation and before further public business.
