Agenda review: council approves minutes, enters and exits executive session on litigation
Summary
At an agenda-review meeting, Marietta council members approved the March 12 minutes by voice vote and voted to enter and later exit an executive session for pending and potential litigation.
Marietta city council members approved the minutes from the March 12 regular meeting and voted to convene and later end an executive session regarding pending and potential litigation during the agenda-review session.
The council took a voice vote approving the March 12 minutes; the chair declared the motion carried. Later in the meeting, a motion to enter executive session for pending and potential litigation was made and seconded and the council approved it. After a short executive session, the council reconvened and approved a motion to come out of executive session.
Why it matters: Executive sessions for pending or potential litigation allow the council to receive confidential legal briefings before returning to open session; formal approval of minutes finalizes the record of prior meetings.
