The Garden City Council voted Dec. 8 to move into executive session under Idaho Code 74‑206(1)(f) for the purpose of communicating with legal counsel about legal ramifications and options for pending litigation or controversies not yet being litigated. The motion was made and seconded by council members and approved on roll call (Council members Page, Rasmussen and Jacobs recorded 'Yes'). The council recessed to an executive session after the vote.

No substantive discussion from the executive session appears in the public transcript. The motion cited the specific statutory authority for the closed session record.
