Board of supervisors directs counsel to defend employee lawsuit and to pursue settlement over ticketing dispute
Summary
During an executive session the board voted to have its attorney defend a lawsuit filed by a former employee and instructed counsel to pursue an agreed settlement in a dispute over ticketing for a spring show; the board also reviewed an insurance matter and an appointment discussed during the session.
The board of supervisors, meeting in executive session, agreed that the board attorney should respond to and defend litigation filed by a former employee and authorized counsel to pursue an agreed settlement related to ticketing from a spring show.
The Clerk summarized items handled in executive session, including an insurance matter involving representative Lee Turner and a forthcoming report from Gallagher. The Clerk also noted an appointment with Adrian McKay described in the transcript as coming from a development-related organization and said the economic-development group would provide recommendations on tax-increment financing and a development project.
On the lawsuit, the transcript records that Supervisor Williams moved and Supervisor Johnson seconded a motion that the board attorney respond to and defend the litigation; the motion was recorded as carried. Separately, the board directed its attorneys to work toward an agreed settlement over issues arising from ticketing at a spring show; that motion was moved by Supervisor Nixon and seconded by Supervisor Johnson, according to the transcript.
The Clerk reported the board voted to come out of executive session at approximately 6:05 p.m. The board did not provide detailed public descriptions of the litigation or settlement terms in the open record captured by the transcript.
The meeting record shows the executive-session items will generate follow-up work — including the Gallagher report on insurance valuations and any further legal work on the employee suit and the ticketing dispute.
