The Bee Cave City Council met in a special session May 6 and moved into an executive session to consult with the city attorney about pending litigation, City of Bee Cave, Texas v. WSCOS Development LLC, WSCOS Investments LLC and Velocis Bee Cave JV LP (Cause No. D1GN24005113). The council recessed its regular meeting at about 5:02 p.m. for the closed consultation and returned at 6:43 p.m. with no public action taken.
The session was held under Texas Government Code §551.071 (consultation with attorney), the provision that allows governmental bodies to meet privately with counsel about pending or contemplated litigation. Mayor King presided; Mayor Pro Tem Tim Clark and Council members Willett, Crumley, Hite and Sprocco were listed as present. There were no citizen comments during the meeting.
City officials identified the litigation by style and cause number during the public portion of the meeting; the suit is filed in the 200th Judicial District Court of Travis County as Cause No. D1GN24005113. The council recorded that it returned from executive session with “no action from executive sessions.”
Following the return to open session, a motion to adjourn was made, seconded and approved unanimously. The meeting adjourned at 6:43 p.m. The council did not announce any public decisions or directives arising from the closed consultation.
Because executive sessions are not open to the public, the transcript does not include details of the legal advice or the substance of the discussion; the council’s public record from this meeting is limited to the statutory basis for the closed session, the named litigation parties and the stated outcome of no action taken.
