Mount Kisco board authorizes settlement agreements in multiple Westchester County cases; one trustee abstains
Summary
After an executive session on litigation, the board authorized the Village Manager to sign settlement agreements and mutual releases in ten Westchester County Supreme Court cases; Trustee Thomas G. Luzio recorded an abstention while other trustees voted aye.
After returning from an executive session on ongoing litigation, the Mount Kisco Village Board on Jan. 6 voted to authorize Village Manager Edward W. Brancati to sign Settlement Agreements and Mutual Releases of all claims in a group of Westchester County Supreme Court cases. The motion was made by Trustee Karen B. Schleimer, seconded by Deputy Mayor Theresa Flora, and passed with four ayes and one abstention by Trustee Thomas G. Luzio.
The minutes list the affected cases by index number: 59891/2020; 67483/2021; 67486/2021; 67487/2021; 67488/2021; 67539/2021; 67553/2021; 67590/2021; 67617/2021; 67618/2021. The minutes do not include settlement terms or financial amounts; they record only the Board's authorization to execute settlement and release documents.
Because the votes and the action are recorded in the minutes, the Board has authorized settlement execution; the substance of each settlement — including any monetary payments or nonmonetary conditions — is not specified in the minutes and would need to be confirmed with Village Counsel or the Village Manager's office.
