Hartford council approves two settlement resolutions after executive session
Summary
Following a closed executive session, the City of Hartford Court of Common Council approved settlement resolutions for the cases of David O'Keefe and a second case recorded in the transcript as Anthony Guardino (also later transcribed as 'Godinho'). Both resolutions passed by roll call.
After entering a closed executive session on Jan. 12 to discuss pending litigation, the Hartford Court of Common Council voted to approve settlement resolutions for two cases.
Majority Leader moved to enter executive session to discuss "the case of David O'Keefe v. City of Hartford, et al.," and a second case referenced in the meeting as "Anthony Guardino v. City of Hartford." Later in the transcript the second defendant's name is transcribed as "Anthony Godinho;" the council recorded and approved both items as separate resolutions (items 7.1 and 7.2).
The council first approved the resolution for David O'Keefe (item 7.1) by roll call without discussion. The council then approved item 7.2 (transcribed as Anthony Godinho/Guardino) by roll call; no financial terms or settlement amounts were disclosed in the public meeting transcript.
The transcript records formal roll-call votes approving both resolutions. The meeting record does not include settlement amounts, confidentiality terms, or the legal basis for the resolutions; those details, if any, were discussed in the executive session and were not disclosed on the public record during the meeting.
The council adjourned after completing the votes.
