After closed session, Toledo council approves tentative settlement in Horrigan v. Toledo
Summary
Following a closed session authorized under Iowa Code 21.5(1)(c), the council approved a tentative settlement in Horrigan v. Toledo and authorized the mayor to sign the agreement. The transcript does not disclose settlement terms.
The Toledo City Council voted to enter closed session at the request of Marquess under Iowa Code 21.5(1)(c); the motion to enter closed session was made by Vesely and seconded by Cook and passed on a roll call with Goodhart absent. The council entered closed session at 5:59 p.m. and returned to open session at 6:30 p.m.
Once back in open session, Councilmember Boll moved and Councilmember Pansegrau seconded approval of a tentative settlement agreement in Horrigan v. Toledo and authorized Mayor Brian Sokol to sign the agreement. The motion passed on a roll-call vote with all members present voicing ayes; the transcript does not state any settlement amount or further terms.
The council’s use of Iowa Code 21.5(1)(c) indicates the closed session pertained to a matter allowable under that statutory provision; the transcript records the procedural steps and the subsequent public vote to approve the tentative settlement, but no details of the settlement were disclosed on the record.
