Putnam County rules committee approves proposed litigation settlement
Summary
The rules committee approved a settlement presented by the county law department during its Jan. 27 meeting; committee chair said members may go to executive session if they have further questions.
The Putnam County Legislature rules committee voted Jan. 27 to approve a litigation settlement as presented by the county law department.
Chairman of the rules committee introduced the item and asked members whether they required an executive session to discuss legal questions; none was requested. The chairman then asked for a motion to approve the settlement as prepared by the law department; a motion and a second were made and the committee approved the settlement by voice vote.
The committee record shows the approval was procedural and limited to the settlement as presented; the chairman said members who wanted follow-up briefings could seek executive session access or direct questions to the law department.
No dollar amount for the settlement was read into the public record during the committee discussion that night. The chairman said members had previously received the settlement paperwork from the law department and urged legislators with outstanding questions to request executive session time.
Ending: The item was approved and the committee proceeded to other business; the chairman said he would continue committee outreach on other matters.
