Summary

Following an executive session about pending litigation and a contract dispute, the commission voted to authorize the city attorney to file suit if the contract dispute with 'Ben' is not resolved by June 17.

After a closed executive session on matters including consultation with the city attorney, the Breckenridge City Commission reconvened and authorized the city attorney to file suit if a contract dispute with an individual identified in the meeting as "Ben" is not resolved by June 17.

The executive session cited Government Code Chapter 551 (the Texas Open Meetings Act) as the basis for private deliberations with counsel. After returning to open session, a commissioner moved that, if the dispute with Ben is not resolved by June 17, the city attorney be authorized to file a lawsuit; another commissioner seconded the motion and the commission voted in favor.

The motion and vote were the only public action recorded about the matter during the meeting; specific details of the contract dispute and the parties' positions were discussed in the closed session and were not disclosed on the public record.
