Canton Township board approves settlement in litigation after closed session
Summary
After a closed session on litigation, the Canton Township Board of Trustees voted to accept a settlement recommendation and authorized the supervisor to sign documents to finalize the agreement.
The Canton Township Board of Trustees voted to accept a settlement in litigation involving Colin May as next friend of Aden Przlewski and authorized Supervisor Ann Marie Graham Hudak to sign the necessary documents.
The motion, offered after the board returned from a closed session, asked the board to approve township legal counsel's recommendation to accept the settlement previously discussed in private. A trustee moved the recommendation, it was supported and the board approved it in a voice vote.
The board did not discuss settlement terms in open session. According to the motion recorded on the record, the action was taken consistent with the township attorney's advice and only to effectuate the settlement; the supervisor was authorized to execute all documents necessary to finalize the agreement. The board indicated the remaining consent‑calendar items would be handled when the meeting reconvened.
The approval followed the board's vote to go into closed session earlier in the meeting for the purpose of consulting with legal counsel about the pending case. The board did not state any additional conditions or provide further public details about the settlement at the meeting.
