Chair moves to hire Dix Ford as village counsel in two lawsuits; council approves paying bills and adjourns
Summary
At a brief village council meeting, the Chair moved to hire Dix Ford to represent the village in two lawsuits; the motion was seconded and approved by roll call. The council then voted to pay the village's bills and adjourned.
The Chair moved that the village hire Dix Ford to represent the municipality "in both lawsuits," and the council approved the motion by roll-call vote.
The Chair introduced the motion during a short meeting, saying, "I, make a motion to hire Dix Ford to the village in both lawsuits." The motion was seconded, and the Chair called the roll. Members identified in the roll call — Jane, Coral, Eric and Hannah — were recorded responding "Yay." The Chair announced the motion carried.
Shortly afterward the Chair made a separate motion "to pay the bills and adjourn," which was also seconded. The Chair called the roll again; Shane, Dane, Carl, Eric and Hannah were recorded as voting "Yay," and the motion passed. The Chair offered brief closing remarks and thanked those in attendance before ending the meeting.
The meeting record contains only the motions, seconds, roll-call responses and the Chair's brief closing remarks; there was no recorded debate or discussion of the lawsuits, terms of legal engagement, or bill amounts in the transcript.
