Kiowa board directs counsel to enter stipulation in Digby Properties case
Summary
The Kiowa town board voted to have the town attorney enter a stipulation in litigation with Digby Properties LLC that the motion described as allowing a disconnect of the property; the motion was seconded and approved in a roll call recorded as affirmative by all members present.
The Kiowa town board voted to direct the town attorney to enter a stipulation in the town’s case with Digby Properties LLC, a motion the board described as allowing a "disconnect" related to the disputed property.
A board member moved to "direct our council to enter in the stipulation allowing disconnect of the Digby property," and the motion was seconded by a participant identified in the record as Josh. The board conducted a roll call after the motion. Members listed in the roll call responded in the affirmative: Mayor Prom Smith; Mayor Cole; Trustee Howard; Trustee Hart; Trustee Schaefer; Trustee Baker; and Trustee Wland.
The motion’s full text in the meeting transcript directed the town’s counsel to enter a stipulation in the case; the transcript does not include further detail in open session on the terms of that stipulation or the legal strategy behind it. No public comment or extended discussion on the merits of that stipulation appears in the record.
Because the matter had been discussed in executive session immediately before the vote, the board opened the public record to ask whether anyone believed any discussion outside the motion had occurred or that any improper action took place; no one raised concerns for the record.
Next steps were not specified in open session. The transcript records the board action and the roll call but does not list a timeline for filing the stipulation or additional legal steps.
