Hobart Sanitary Board holds executive session to discuss litigation strategy; no action taken
Summary
The Hobart Sanitary Board of Commissioners met in an executive session May 26 to discuss litigation strategy under I.C. 5-14-1.5-6.1(b)(2)(B). The meeting began at 4:30 p.m., adjourned at 5:14 p.m., and recorded no final action.
The Hobart Sanitary Board of Commissioners convened an executive session May 26, 2026, at Hobart City Hall to discuss strategy related to initiation of litigation and litigation that is pending or has been threatened in writing, the board’s memorandum states. The session began at 4:30 p.m. and adjourned at 5:14 p.m.
Board records list Presiding Officer Bob Fulton calling the session to order and note that board members Mr. Mandon, Mr. Broadaway and Mr. Gutierrez were present. Mr. Alex Metz was recorded as absent. Attorney Jim Meyer and HSD Administrative Assistant Lorie Leonard were also present; Leonard attested to the memorandum. The document states explicitly that "no other topics were discussed."
The memorandum cites Indiana Code I.C. 5-14-1.5-6.1(b)(2)(B) as the authority for a closed session limited to litigation strategy. It also records that "no final action was taken" during the meeting. The memorandum was adopted and certified June 9, 2026.
Because executive sessions are statutorily limited in scope, the memorandum does not disclose subject-matter details of the litigation discussion. The board’s public record therefore notes only attendance, statutory authority, the absence of any final action and the certification date.
