Board authorizes mayor to settle Caleb Associates LLC case after executive session
Summary
After an executive session on pending litigation, the Torrington Board of Finance authorized the mayor to enter a settlement agreement in Caleb Associates LLC v. City of Torrington; the motion passed with one abstention by Mr. Anderson.
The Torrington Board of Finance on April 21 authorized the mayor to enter into a settlement agreement in the matter of Caleb Associates LLC v. City of Torrington following an executive‑session discussion of the pending litigation.
The meeting record shows the board moved into executive session pursuant to a Connecticut statute cited in the meeting record (transcribed as “Connecticut General Statues 200-16B” and later corrected on the record), and invited corporation counsel and tax assessor Stacy Maldonado into the session. After returning to open session at 5:16 p.m., the board voted to authorize the mayor to execute the settlement agreement; Mr. Anderson registered an abstention on that motion.
The transcript identifies the litigation as Caleb Associates LLC v. City of Torrington. The board did not disclose settlement terms on the public record during the meeting transcript.
What happens next: authorization permits the mayor to sign a settlement when final terms are available and within the authority the board granted; staff indicated counsel and the tax assessor participated in the executive‑session discussion but no settlement amount or specific terms were disclosed in open session.
