Pre-council votes to go into executive session to discuss legal options on potential litigation
Summary
Council members moved, seconded and voted to enter an executive session to discuss "the attorney legal ramifications of and legal options for pending litigations" and controversies not yet litigated but likely to be litigated, according to city staff.
A motion to enter an executive session to discuss legal strategy and potential litigation passed during the Tuscaloosa pre-council meeting.
A council member moved and a colleague seconded the motion; the body voted in favor with an "aye" recorded. Brandy requested the executive session. City legal staff and administration clarified the subject of the session before it began. Tom, speaking for city counsel/administration, explained the stated purpose: "to discuss the attorney legal ramifications of and legal options for pending litigations, controversies not yet litigated, but it would likely be litigated," and said the session would cover legal options if the government body pursues a proposed course of action.
The pre-council transcript records the motion, a second, and the recorded "aye" vote; no roll-call tally with individual member votes is recorded in the pre-council excerpt.
