Council moves to closed session to discuss threatened DNR litigation over Timbers Hideaway development
Summary
The council entered a closed session under Minnesota statute 13D.05 subdivision 3(b) to receive attorney-client advice about threatened litigation from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources regarding MRTA LLC's Timbers Hideaway Development.
The Oak Grove City Council convened a closed session at the July 14 meeting to discuss attorney-client privileged matters concerning threatened litigation from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources related to the MRTA LLC Timbers Hideaway development.
The council voted to go into closed session pursuant to Minnesota Statute section 13D.05, subdivision 3(b), for attorney-client protected discussion about threatened litigation tied to DNR concerns and the Timbers Hideaway development. The mayor read the statutory basis into the record before the council cleared the chamber; the meeting minutes state no recording of the closed session was to be made and that the matter involved MRTA LLC Timbers Hideaway Development and the DNR.
Because the discussion occurred in closed session for attorney-client privilege, the council did not take public action on the record during that session. The city attorney remained present to provide legal counsel. The council indicated it would return to open session for any additional public business after the closed discussion.
