Delray Beach commission votes to resolve Keith Tomy litigation after closed attorney‑client session
Summary
After an attorney‑client session under Florida Statute 286.011, the Delray Beach City Commission voted unanimously on June 9 to "resolve the case in the manner discussed" in closed session in the litigation Keith Tomy v. City of Delray Beach (2024‑CA‑00005926).
The Delray Beach City Commission voted unanimously June 9 to resolve the litigation captioned Keith Tomy v. City of Delray Beach, case number 2024‑CA‑00005926, after completing an attorney‑client session held under Florida Statute 286.011.
The commission recessed into the closed session and then reopened the special meeting. A motion "to resolve the case in the manner discussed" in closed session was made and seconded; a roll‑call vote recorded five "yes" votes from the commission. The public record shows the roll call as: Deputy Vice Mayor Margaret (yes), Commissioner Malikica (yes), Commissioner Cassell (yes), Vice Mayor Angela Burns (yes) and Mayor Carney (yes). The motion and the discussion that led to the closed session were not read into the public record in detail beyond the motion language and the vote.
The proceedings were recorded by a certified court reporter and the transcript of the closed session will be made part of the public record as permitted under the statute. The commission did not identify on the public record who moved or seconded the motion to resolve the case; the meeting transcript records only the motion language and the unanimous vote. No additional details about settlement terms, payment amounts or implementation steps were provided during the reopened meeting.
The meeting then proceeded to a separate budget workshop discussion; the special meeting was adjourned later in the session.
