Commissioners move to dismiss suit after attorney general ruling; instruct counsel to proceed
Summary
Following an attorney general opinion, Oklahoma County motioned to dismiss a lawsuit and separately instructed legal counsel to proceed as discussed during executive session; both motions passed by unanimous voice vote.
Oklahoma County commissioners voted to dismiss a pending lawsuit after discussing a recent attorney general ruling that, according to commissioners, removed the need for seeking a separate permit ruling.
A commissioner moved to dismiss the suit, saying the attorney general’s ruling cleared the county to proceed and that seeking a ruling on the permit was no longer necessary. The motion was seconded and approved on a unanimous voice vote.
Shortly thereafter, the board moved to instruct county counsel as discussed in executive session to proceed on related matters; that motion also passed unanimously.
The county did not provide additional details about the underlying permit or the attorney general opinion during the public parts of the meeting; commissioners confined detailed discussion to executive session and recorded only the formal motions and votes in open session.
