Ohio County magistrates hold closed session to discuss possible litigation, no public action taken
Summary
Magistrates entered a closed session to discuss possible litigation and returned to open session without taking any recorded public action related to that discussion.
Ohio County magistrates moved into a closed session during their June meeting to discuss a matter described as "possible litigation." The court recessed and later returned to open session; magistrates said no business was completed while in closed session.
A motion was made and seconded to enter closed session and was carried by voice vote. After the closed session, magistrates reconvened and explicitly stated they had discussed a possible litigation issue and that no formal actions or votes were taken during the closed session. The court then completed outstanding procedural business in open session, including confirming an earlier ordinance vote that had not been formally recorded prior to the recess.
The transcript does not provide details of the litigation topic discussed in closed session. No litigation filings, settlements or binding actions were recorded in the open meeting minutes as related to the closed session.
