Seymour authorizes First Selectwoman to enter opioid remnant settlement
Summary
After an executive session on opioid litigation, the board authorized the First Selectwoman to enter a settlement agreement with remnant opioid defendants; the motion passed unanimously and members said no actions were taken during the executive session itself.
The Seymour Board of Select Persons met in executive session to discuss opioid litigation involving remnant defendants and afterward voted to authorize the First Selectwoman to enter into a settlement agreement. The board moved into executive session with legal participants present and later returned recessed business stating that no actions had been taken while in executive session.
On returning to open session, a motion to authorize the First Selectwoman to enter into a settlement with the remnant opioid defendants was made (motion by Trish; second by Scott) and passed unanimously (vote recorded 6-0). Board minutes record that the motion carried and that the authorization directs the First Selectwoman to execute a settlement agreement on the board’s behalf.
No settlement terms, dollar amounts or defendant names were disclosed in the open record during the meeting. The board’s statement noted only that the executive session addressed the remnant defendants and that the authority to settle was granted.
