Council introduces municipal surplus order and moves to discuss litigation in executive session

The council considered routine ordinance and procedural items in the late agenda and debated whether to proceed immediately with votes.

City staff presented Municipal Order ML8‑2026, which would declare miscellaneous city‑owned personal property (including retired police firearms and other equipment) surplus and authorize sale by electronic auction or trade‑in. The order was discussed and seconded, but at least one council member asked to review the list and indicated they would vote no on that first item unless given further time to review. The transcript does not contain a completed roll‑call vote for ML8‑2026 in the provided segments.

A council member then moved that the council enter an executive session citing KRS 61.810(1)(c) to discuss proposed or pending litigation against or on behalf of the public agency. The mover explained the statutory threshold for disclosure before entering executive session, and described examples of when names or details should or should not be stated before an executive session. The discussion ended with the council preparing to go into executive session; no vote on the motion is recorded in the supplied transcript segments.

Because the transcript ends during the procedural explanation, the record does not show final outcomes for the surplus order or the executive session motion. Council members indicated a desire to review certain materials and to follow procedures required by statute before any vote.
