Waverly City Council votes unanimously to enter executive session on litigation strategy
Summary
During the Jan. 27 study session the City Council voted, by roll call, to move into executive session to discuss strategy with counsel in matters that are presently in litigation or where litigation is imminent; the motion passed unanimously.
During the City Council study session on Jan. 27, 2025, the council voted to move into executive session to "discuss strategy with counsel in matters that are presently in litigation or where litigation is imminent," the presiding officer told members.
The roll-call vote recorded yes votes from Councilmember Birkin, Councilmember Drainhouse, Councilmember Jones, Councilmember Kingus, Councilmember Meyer, Councilmember Raffi and Councilmember Wolfe. The clerk conducted the roll call and announced the motion passed unanimously; the council then entered executive session.
No further details about the subject matter of the litigation were disclosed on the public record during the study session. The presiding official flagged the executive-session statutory rationale as strategy with counsel concerning pending or imminent litigation, and the council moved into the closed session after the roll call.
Because the matter was discussed in executive session, no public votes or actions on the substance of the litigation were recorded in the public transcript.
