A presiding official moved at a special meeting on March 13, 2025, to enter executive session pursuant to Arizona law to consult with counsel regarding an embezzlement matter involving former treasurer Elizabeth Kirk Myers; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
The meeting record shows the executive session was authorized under Arizona Revised Statutes §38-431.03(A)(4) so the public body could "consider the public body's position and provide direction on litigation," language read aloud during the public portion. No substantive details about the alleged embezzlement or any litigation strategy were discussed on the public record.
After the closed session, the presiding official moved to adjourn the executive session; that motion was seconded and approved. The meeting then moved to adjournment and the presiding official closed the special meeting. The transcript does not record any formal action on the merits of the embezzlement allegation, any public votes on liability, or any filings arising from the discussion.
Because the discussion occurred in closed session, the public record provided in the transcript contains only procedural motions and outcomes: entry into executive session, adjournment of the executive session, and adjournment of the meeting. Any subsequent public actions, filings, or notices related to the matter were not specified in the transcript.
