Lake Forest Park council authorizes $131,800 total for Wright Jones property acquisition
Summary
At a May 19 special meeting, the Lake Forest Park City Council unanimously approved increasing the Wright Jones property acquisition amount to $131,800 after a brief executive session called under Washington law.
The Lake Forest Park City Council voted unanimously May 19 to increase the Wright Jones property acquisition amount to a total of $131,800 following a brief executive session.
The vote came at a special virtual meeting called to order at 7:30 a.m. and recessed for a 15-minute executive session “pursuant to RCW 42.30.110” on potential litigation. After the council returned to open session, an unidentified council member moved to authorize the increase and an unidentified council member seconded; the motion passed by voice vote with no recorded dissents.
The council’s agenda listed two items: an executive session for potential litigation and discussion of roundabout project funding. The motion to increase the Wright Jones acquisition, including the $131,800 figure, was presented immediately after the council reconvened from executive session at about 7:50 a.m. Meeting minutes recorded no additional discussion, no subsidiary motions or amendments, and no questions or objections before the voice vote.
The public record provided at the meeting does not specify how many councilmembers voted or list individual aye votes. The transcript shows the motion was moved and seconded and that the presiding official announced the ayes had it and that the motion passed unanimously.
No implementation steps, funding sources, closing timeline, or related contract details were stated on the record during the special meeting. The meeting adjourned immediately after the vote.
Background: the meeting was announced as a special session of the Lake Forest Park City Council with two agenda items and included a 15-minute executive session held under RCW 42.30.110, Washington’s statute authorizing executive sessions for certain matters, including potential litigation.
