Woodstock council approves Robinette Brown settlement after executive session; Collins votes no
Summary
After an executive session, the Woodstock mayor and council voted 3–1 Feb. 9 to approve a proposed settlement in the Robinette Brown matter; Councilmember Collins recorded the lone dissent and two members were absent.
Mayor Michael Caldwell and the Woodstock City Council on Feb. 9 voted to approve a settlement for the Robinette Brown matter that the council added to the agenda after an executive session.
The council voted to add item 6‑1 to the agenda following the executive session; Councilman Johnson moved to add the item and Councilman Potts seconded. The motion to add carried 4–0 with two absences, the mayor said.
Later in the meeting, Councilman Potts moved to approve the settlement; Councilman Wolff seconded. After the vote, Mayor Caldwell announced the result as three in favor and one opposed. Councilmember Collins registered the only dissent; Councilmen Usher and Ake were absent.
The approval followed an executive session described by the mayor as covering real estate, litigation and/or personnel. No additional public details of the settlement were made in the meeting record. The council did not provide documentary exhibits or a verbal summary of settlement terms during the public session.
The council’s action means the settlement proposal approved at the Feb. 9 meeting will proceed as the council directed; the meeting record does not specify implementation steps, disbursements, or effective dates. The mayor closed the meeting after routine final business and adjournment motions.
The mayor and council did not read aloud statutory citations or other authorities tied to the settlement during the public meeting. Any required follow‑up reporting or formal documentation will appear in subsequent city records, the mayor said.
