Council authorizes city attorney to settle claim discussed in closed session
Summary
After an executive session under 25 O.S. § 307(B)(4), the council authorized the city attorney to settle a potential claim involving a company named in the session (transcript spelling varies), approving the motion on a roll-call vote.
The McAlester City Council met in executive session under the Oklahoma executive-session statute to receive confidential legal advice from the city attorney about a potential claim involving an energy company. The session was convened pursuant to 25 O.S. § 307(B)(4).
After returning to open session, the council voted to authorize the city attorney to settle the claim as discussed in executive session. The motion carried by roll call with all present voting yes.
The transcript records differing spellings for the company (appearing as "Calix Energy" and "Kallik Energy" in different segments); the council's action authorized settlement negotiations and instructs the attorney to proceed. The council did not disclose settlement terms during the open meeting.
Council procedures were observed by roll call; staff indicated the motion and vote satisfied the required public-record action after the closed deliberation.
