Summary

The council recessed into closed session under Texas Government Code §551.071 to consult with city attorneys about pending litigation (City of Farmers Branch v. Gadbury Construction et al.) and legal matters related to Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART).

At the end of the study session the mayor recessed the council into closed executive session under Texas Government Code §551.071 for attorney consultation.

The mayor read two executive-session items into the record: consultation regarding pending litigation, "City of Farmers Branch versus Gadbury Construction et al.," and consultation with the attorney to seek legal advice on matters related to Dallas Area Rapid Transit, "including but not limited to correspondence, programs, funding, agreements, and any associated legal rights, obligations, or potential actions."

No deliberations or votes occurred in open session on those matters; the council recessed to the city manager’s conference room for a closed meeting. Any further public action, decisions or disclosures will follow applicable open-meeting-law requirements once the council returns to open session.
