San Benito CISD trustees authorize action on performing arts center and natatorium litigation after closed session
Summary
Following a closed executive session, the San Benito CISD board voted to approve action on litigation related to the district’s performing arts center and natatorium; the open transcript records the motion but does not disclose details discussed in executive session.
After reconvening from closed session, the San Benito Consolidated Independent School District Board of Trustees voted to approve action on litigation concerning the district’s performing arts center and natatorium as discussed in executive session.
Trustee Alfredo Perez introduced the open-session motion, stating, “I ask the board to approve as discussed in executive session, the consideration of the Performing Arts Center and Auditorium Litigation.” Trustee Crystal Hernandez moved the motion and Trustee Israel Villareal III seconded. The presiding officer announced, “Motion passed.” The transcript does not include any substantive details of the litigation; those details were discussed in closed session and are not part of the public record in the open portion of the meeting.
The board cited the Texas Government Code’s open meetings provisions when entering closed session earlier in the meeting; the announcement that the board would move into closed session referenced private consultation with the board’s attorney and personnel matters as permitted closed-session topics. The board reconvened in open session at 2:19 p.m. and immediately took the vote on the litigation item.
No members of the public spoke on this agenda item in the open session portion of the meeting. The transcript provides no information about any settlement terms, filing instructions, or legal counsel recommendations that were discussed in executive session.
