Orange Beach council votes to enter 30-minute executive session on pending litigation, will not reconvene
Summary
Council members voted to move into a 30-minute executive session to discuss pending litigation and announced they would not reconvene the open meeting afterward.
The Orange Beach City Council voted to enter a 30-minute executive session to discuss pending litigation and stated it would not reconvene the open meeting afterward. A council member moved to enter the executive session; the motion was seconded and the council approved it by voice vote.
Before the vote, the city attorney provided a statutory declaration required under Alabama law, stating that the purpose of the executive session was to discuss pending litigation and confirming that the attorney is licensed in the state. After that statement, Mayor Kenan announced, "Executive session, 30 minutes. We will not reconvene." The council then voted by voice; the mayor confirmed the motion was approved.
The transcript does not record the subject matter of the pending litigation, any case names, or any substantive discussion beyond the attorney’s statutory declaration. The council indicated the meeting would recess for the executive session and not return to open session.
