Timnath council holds closed session on lawsuit with Timnus Lands LLC, then reconvenes
Summary
At a special meeting the Timnath Town Council voted to enter executive session under Colorado law to receive legal advice and develop negotiation strategy regarding litigation between the Town Development Authority and Timnus Lands LLC. The council returned to the record and adjourned the special meeting.
The Timnath Town Council convened a special meeting on Sept. 9 and voted to move into executive session under Colorado Revised Statutes §24‑6‑402(4)(b) and (e) to receive legal advice on a lawsuit between the Town Development Authority and Timnus Lands LLC and to develop strategy and instruct negotiators for potential mediation.
Town counsel cited C.R.S. §24‑6‑402(4)(b) (conferences with the town attorney for legal advice on specific legal questions) and §24‑6‑402(4)(e) (determining positions relative to matters that may be subject to negotiations and instructing negotiators) as the basis for the closed session. The motion to move to executive session was made, seconded and carried by voice vote; four council members were present and signaled "aye." The council returned to the record after the executive session and concluded the special meeting; the regular council meeting was reconvened at 6:00 p.m.
No substantive details of the closed session were disclosed in open session, consistent with the town’s invocation of the statutory executive‑session exemptions. Town counsel made a record that the council had concluded its executive session before adjourning the special meeting.
Action taken: Council approved a motion to enter executive session for the stated statutory purposes; action to enter executive session carried by voice vote with those present voting in favor.
