McCall council approves consent agenda and votes unanimously to enter executive session on litigation
Summary
After approving the consent agenda by roll call, the council moved into executive session under Idaho Code section 74-206(1)(f) to consult legal counsel on pending or imminent litigation; the roll-call votes were unanimous among present members.
The McCall City Council completed routine business and approved its consent agenda by roll call before voting to enter an executive session on litigation at the April 16 meeting.
A motion to approve the consent agenda was moved and seconded; the clerk called the roll and Council members recorded 'yes' votes, after which the consent agenda was declared approved.
Later in the meeting a council member moved "we go into executive session litigation pursuant to Idaho code section 74-206(1)(f) to communicate with legal counsel for the public agency to discuss the legal ramifications of and the legal options for pending litigation or controversies not yet being litigated but imminently likely to be litigated," quoting the statutory criteria. The motion was seconded and the clerk conducted a roll-call vote with Council members Thrower, Nelson, Mayor Nielsen, Giles and Machez (appears with variant spellings in the transcript) recording 'yes,' after which the council prepared to continue in executive session.
Council also noted earlier in the meeting that an appointment to the AAC had been removed from tonight's agenda because of a procedural error and will be brought back at a later meeting.
What happens next: the council proceeded to executive session; no public minutes of the executive session were recorded in the transcript excerpt.
