Council moves into executive session to discuss litigation and city real estate
Summary
The presiding official moved the council into executive session, citing a municipal code reference as quoted in the transcript, to receive legal advice and discuss potential settlement of pending litigation and real estate matters; the motion carried by voice vote.
At the conclusion of the Denver mayor and city council meeting, the presiding official moved that the council enter an executive session "pursuant to DRMZ 2 34 a 3 4 6 and 7" for the purpose of receiving legal advice, discussing the potential settlement of pending litigation against the city, and discussing the acquisition, sale or use of real estate by the city.
The motion was seconded, members responded verbally with "Aye" and the council entered executive session. The transcript records the motion and the announced purposes but does not include a roll-call vote or further details about the litigation or real-estate matters to be discussed in executive session.
Because the motion invoked a code citation as stated in the transcript, the presiding official described the executive session as limited to legal advice and real-estate matters. No additional public details about the pending litigation or property discussions were disclosed before the chamber closed the session.
