Committee forwards settlement items 4–10 to full board after closed session
Summary
Items 4 through 10—various ordinances and resolutions authorizing settlement of lawsuits and unlitigated claims—were considered in closed session on Oct. 3 and the committee announced a unanimous recommendation to forward them to the full Board of Supervisors with a positive recommendation.
At the Oct. 3 meeting the Government Audit & Oversight Committee grouped agenda items 4 through 10—ordinances and resolutions authorizing settlement of lawsuits and unlitigated claims—and asked for public comment before convening into closed session. A labor representative raised concerns about ongoing employee-related issues tied to settlements.
After closed session the committee announced that it had voted unanimously to forward items 4 through 10 to the full Board of Supervisors with a positive recommendation. No further details on settlement amounts or individual case names were disclosed in open session. The chair then adjourned the meeting.
Next steps: The full Board of Supervisors will consider the committee's positive recommendation on items 4–10 at a future meeting (items acted upon were noted to appear on the 10/17/2017 Board agenda unless otherwise stated).
