Denver council votes to enter executive session to receive legal advice and discuss potential settlement and real estate
Summary
Council voted to move into executive session under DRMC 2.34(a) (sections cited in motion) to receive legal advice and discuss a potential settlement of pending litigation and the acquisition, sale, or use of real estate; the motion was seconded and approved with an aye vote and the public was excused.
The Denver mayor moved and the council seconded a motion to enter an executive session to receive legal advice and discuss a potential settlement in pending litigation and matters related to acquisition, sale or use of real estate.
The motion cited the Denver Revised Municipal Code, DRMC 2.34(a), and invoked sections 3, 4, 6 and 7 to authorize the closed session. The mayor said the purpose was "receiving legal advice and discussing a potential settlement of pending litigation against the city," and later repeated the motion with expanded statutory citations to include real‑estate discussion.
Council members voted in favor; the mayor called for aye votes and the body entered executive session. No roll call vote or individual vote tally was recorded in the public transcript excerpt. The public portion of the meeting concluded with thanks to members of the public for joining.
Because the discussion and any legal advice happened in executive session, no further details about the litigation or the real‑estate matters were provided in the public record excerpt.
Next steps: The council entered the closed session; any formal public action or reportable settlement would be disclosed in accordance with applicable open‑meeting rules if and when permitted.
