A staff member announced after executive session that a settlement for a lawsuit involving Jefferson County will be $6,000.
The staff member presented the settlement as one of two items concluded during the executive session; the transcript does not identify the case by name or provide further terms. The announcement followed immediately by the unrelated personnel item naming a new hire.
The public excerpt does not include a recorded vote, a mover or seconder for the settlement, or any citation to statutes or settlement authority. Because the settlement was announced from executive session, no additional documentary details or case numbers were provided in the public remarks.
Following the two announcements, Legislator McBride moved and Legislator Potter seconded a motion to adjourn; the motion was voiced as carried in the transcript.
