Council moves to closed session to discuss potential litigation over 1737 Wildhurst building-code enforcement
Summary
The Mound City Council adjourned to a closed session July 8 under Minnesota Statute 13D.05, subdivision 3, to discuss potential litigation and settlement options related to code enforcement at property 1737 Wildhurst.
MOUND — The Mound City Council adjourned to a closed session during its July 8 meeting to discuss potential litigation regarding code-enforcement actions at 1737 Wildhurst.
A staff member read a statement on the record that the city would move into closed session pursuant to Minnesota Statute section 13D.05 subdivision 3 for attorney–client privileged discussions. The staff member said the closed session was needed to allow candid discussion about whether to move forward with litigation and related claims, counterclaims and possible reconciliation because discussing those matters in public would be detrimental while potential litigants are involved.
The property was described in the staff statement as being subject to city code enforcement for building-code noncompliance. The staff member said no decision was presently pending before the council and that staff sought a motion to adjourn to the closed session for legal advice and deliberation.
Formal action: The council moved and seconded a motion to adjourn to closed session and approved the motion by voice vote; the meeting recessed for closed-session deliberations.
Ending: The council returned to open session later in the meeting; no public details of the closed-session discussions were disclosed during the open portion of the meeting.
