Claremore approves settlement with SafeNet Services Inc. after closed-session discussions
Summary
Following an executive session under Oklahoma statute Title 25 §307(B)(4), the council approved a settlement and release agreement with SafeNet Services Inc.; the record states disclosure in open session would have impaired the city’s litigation position.
The Claremore council met in executive session to receive confidential legal advice and then approved a settlement and release agreement with SafeNet Services Inc.
The executive session notice in the record cited Oklahoma Statute Title 25, Section 307(B)(4), and said disclosure would "seriously impair the ability of the city to conduct the claim and possible litigation in the public interest." The transcript records that during the executive session no votes were taken and no outside persons were brought into the closed meeting.
After returning to open session, a motion to approve the settlement was made, seconded and passed by roll call. The transcript records affirmative votes on the motion; the specific settlement terms were not read into the public record during the open session.
The council’s post-session statement reiterated that the executive session concerned confidential communications between the council and its attorneys about a potential settlement and release agreement with SafeNet Services Inc.; the transcript does not include financial terms or additional details of the settlement.
