Summary

After returning from closed session, the council's attorney reported that the Auburn City Council voted unanimously to initiate litigation; the attorney said details would be disclosed upon request but were not read into the public record at the meeting.

After returning from a closed session at the Jan. 12 meeting, the council's attorney reported to the mayor and council that the body had voted unanimously to initiate litigation.

The attorney stated, “The Council voted unanimously to initiate litigation, and once commenced, the details will be disclosed to any person upon request.” The report did not include further details about the subject, parties, or timing of the litigation.

The council made no further public comments about the matter during the session. Members proceeded to the regular agenda, including consent items, public comment, and a separate emergency contracting item for the Auburn Police Department siding.

Because the attorney said details would be provided upon request, any substantive information beyond the fact of the vote was not available in the public meeting record.
