Council unanimously approves resolution authorizing settlement process and schedules executive-session procedures

The St. Tammany Parish Council unanimously approved Resolution C-7-220, which authorizes recommended actions and permits the assisted district attorney division to proceed with settlement of claim number 04D90C731345 (Greg Crowe; date of incident recorded as Sept. 21, 2004).

Councilmember Tanner moved the resolution; Councilmember Rolling seconded. The clerk recorded the result as unanimous with two absences. Legal counsel noted that questions about the matter would be handled in executive session as appropriate under the parish procedure.

After the vote, the council considered and voted on the related agenda motion to remove the executive session from the agenda; procedural steps were recorded and the chair and counsel discussed Robert's Rules steps for agenda management. No substantive settlement details were discussed in public minutes; the resolution authorized administration to proceed with the settlement process and to handle necessary executive-session steps.

Next steps: administration and the district attorney's office will proceed as authorized by the resolution and return any necessary actions to the council as required by open-meeting and settlement protocols.
