Council waives privilege to publish ADA memo and adjourns
Summary
Council voted to waive attorney-client privilege limited to a specific memo about ADA compliance for street-corner construction so the city can publish it for constituents, then adjourned the meeting.
During open session the Pflugerville City Council voted to waive attorney-client privilege for a specific city-attorney memo concerning ADA compliance for street-corner construction, limited to that memo only (not the underlying executive-session discussions). Council said the goal was to allow staff to explain legal obligations under state and federal law to constituents. The motion to waive privilege for item 5c carried and the council then adjourned.
Council members described the waiver as narrow — limited to the memo itself — and instructed staff that the intent was to make applicable legal constraints clearer to the public regarding ADA obligations in construction projects. No additional executive-session material was disclosed at the meeting.
