Council moves into executive session to get legal advice on intergovernmental‑agreement negotiations
Summary
The presiding official moved the Denver mayor and city council into an executive session under DRMC 2‑34(a)(3) and (6) to receive legal advice related to negotiations of intergovernmental agreements; the body approved the motion by voice vote and closed the public session.
The presiding official moved the Denver mayor and city council into an executive session to receive legal advice about negotiations of intergovernmental agreements, citing Denver Revised Municipal Code 2‑34(a) sections 3 and 6. The council approved the motion by voice vote and closed the public portion of the meeting.
"I will now entertain a motion to move us into an executive session pursuant to DRMC 2 34 a sections 3 and 6 for the purpose of receiving legal advice regarding negotiations of intergovernmental agreements," the presiding official said before calling for a vote. Members responded with recorded voice votes of "Aye." The chair then stated the general session was closed and the body would enter executive session.
The legal code citation the presiding official read is the stated basis for closing a meeting to obtain legal counsel; the council did not discuss or disclose the subject matter of the negotiations during the public session. No additional public votes or policy decisions were taken before the meeting moved into executive session.
The council provided no additional public timeline for when the executive session would end or when any decisions stemming from the closed discussion would return to open session.
