Summary
The Council entered executive session to discuss matters related to pending litigation (Article 7) with City Attorney Butler present for legal briefing. The chair stated the council would not take action in executive session and that minutes of motions and seconds would be recorded.
At the end of the March 24 meeting the Glens Falls Common Council voted to move into executive session to discuss pending litigation under Article 7. Attorney Butler was present to advise the Council. The chair indicated the session would not produce immediate action and that procedural minutes would be recorded.
The Council did not take public action before adjourning to executive session; no outcomes or votes on litigation matters were reported in the public transcript. The meeting record notes the executive session was convened for legal discussion only.
Why it matters: Executive sessions for pending litigation typically allow the Council to receive legal advice in private; any public decisions or votes that result from the closed session must be reported in subsequent public minutes as required by law.
What’s next: The Council will record minutes of the session and may return to public meeting to report any decisions or next steps if and when appropriate.
